You can run ARM Windows under Parallels, which is good enough for me.

Ah just updated my comment. I really dislike how slow Parallels is.

For gaming sure... but anything else... hypervisors are very good these days.

Just throwing this out there: ARM Windows uses Microsoft's own ARM to x86 translation layer (like their Rosetta), which works surprisingly well for run-of-the-mill business apps and the like. 3D apps do take a big hit though.
