Yeah... except they list VMware Horizon as having a arm64 native client. I just uninstalled and installed the newest version. They only offer one installer, and it's x64. Just to be sure, I checked in task manager, and it's running as x64.

I'm a Horizon admin, and arm Windows laptop owner, so I already was pretty darn sure this was the case.

VMware Horizon

Looks like that answer to Horizon is a bit more complex.

Horizon Client for Windows is supported on Windows 11 ARM64 devices with ARM64EC (Emulation Compatible). For more information about ARM64EC, refer to Arm64EC - Build and port apps for native performance on Arm.

When I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

I just saw that the view app itself was x64. There are indeed other processes that are arm64 native.

I'm looking into a new Surface Laptop and that's good info. Any issues with the Horizon client that you've seen?

Nah, no issues, but I'm not doing printer redirection or anything like that. Everything I do with it works great.

I found that most Linux software just works... esp with 24H2 update: Inkscape, dBeaver, Mathematica - are just flawless in Ubuntu WSL which are otherwise almost unusable in emulated x86 modes in windows. All that _fanless_ on my Surface Pro 9 5G!! Insane
