Apple to keep Intel at Arm's length: macOS shifts from x86 to homegrown common CPU arch, will run iOS apps

Re: It'll work.

One of the main issues I can see is with virtualisation. What happens with products like Parallels, VMWare, VirtualBox, Docker and even WINE? Unless I'm missing something then they will surely need to move into emulation rather than virtualisation.

This might be a blocker to adoption for a lot of developers, and may well mean devs moving across to running Linux on x86 laptops.

This wasn't really an issue with the transition to x86 as virtualisation wasn't widespread back then.
