With Apple moving to ARM based CPUs with their M1 based Macs, I am curious as to whether this end of the road for Virtual Box on macOS? I ask since Virtual Box does state on its home page that "VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use."
My understanding is that Virtual Box would need to depend on emulation to work on ARM, so it is no longer really virtualisation. If there has been any decisions made by the Virtual Box team, that can be shared, then I'd be curious to to know, partly so I can make an impact analysis when looking at new hardware.
