Draft to clarify and change some things regarding support of Virtualbox on macOS, support of para virtualization on macOS, aarch/arm64 support, etc.

Vbox virtualization is now supported natively on macOS workstations. You can see this information on Virtualbox's site, including developer preview downloads that are ready for use. You can still use the alternative route of QEMU or Parallels, if you so choose. Also, Vbox now supports TPM 1.0 & 2.0 and Secure Boot, enabling the user to create a Windows 11 Guest OS. You can even use a physical TPM module if you wanted, provided there is a header for it on your motherboard.

There is dwindling support for TAILS, Qubes OS and Whonix among some architectures, but you can now sleep knowing that you can run macOS Catalina, Big Sur, etc. on your Windows Host OS via Virtualbox, even if your architecture doesn't natively support it, and if you have the necessary components. You can virtualize most things these days, and this is a big step that enables users of macOS to have Whonix. Very cool.
