For those who need to jump between running Mac and Windows software, one of the most compelling aspects of Intel-based Mac ownership has been that those Macs could run both Windows and Mac applications, using either dual boot or virtualization.

With the advent of the M1 Mac, which was no longer based on an Intel processor architecture, that advantage went away. For many Mac users, losing the Intel instruction set was a non-issue. But for folks whose work required them to run applications from both environments, an important productivity feature was suddenly removed from the equation.

Until now. Sort of.
