"…successfully runs Windows 10 [in a VM]"

Your clarification is important. However it makes this claim in the article even more interesting:

> The benchmark result of the Windows 10 ARM running on the Apple M1-powered MacBooks indicates that it is performing better than Microsoft’s own Surface Pro X. Based on the scores, it seems that the M1 is about 60% to 85% faster than the fastest Windows on ARM devices available right now.

Important note: I haven't been able to dig out the original post with that info from the message archive myself.

FYI - This was Windows 10 ARM, not Intel. It is an important step and shows promise, but it is a much bigger (or impossible?) task to run the Intel version of Windows on an ARM VM. That is still a deal breaker for some people.
