It is very likely that ARM-based Macs will lack a performant hypervisor upon release. We will have to see how VMWare responds. I'd bet it will inspire new products and innovation and the desktop space will move towards a less x86-x64 centric world. In the end it is a short term problem. Someone will respond and provide a performant hypervisor that can run on an ARM host and virtualize x86-x64 and ARM guests.

It's true it will cause some pain in the first year or two, but even as a heavy VMWare Fusion user I am really looking forward to the benefits of a vertically integrated laptop.
