Suggestions and requests for future versions of Vegas products, etc

The few that I have in mind are ARM support and cross-platform releases. For ARM support, .NET Framework 4.8.1 recently released and has an option to build and release for ARM. This is especially handy for Surface Pro X users and when ARM starts dominating over x86 in the laptop market. The Surface Pro X and Microsoft's development kit are good starting products for making software for Windows on ARM. For the cross-platform releases though, .NET Framework is tied to Windows, and the Unity game engine is in the process of transitioning to .NET Core, specifically probably .NET 6, the latest LTS version, that way they no longer need to use Mono to release to Mac and Linux. .NET 6 also allows building to ARM. I'm anticipating the first MAGIX product versions with ARM and cross-platform releases to have a spike in sales, probably with a significant fraction of which being users upgrading from previous versions of their MAGIX products or are non-Windows users who are dissatisfied with competing products, and my request would especially benefit studios and individuals who are willing or needing to not be tied to Windows. So far, Apple silicon like the M1 are outperforming probably most Intel mobile processors, a sure sign that ARM is becoming superior to x86 starting in the laptop market.

@Reyfox I can see it implying .NET Core, but what about Mono? How big of a thing would it be to make an ARM version now that .NET Framework 4.8.1 has an ARM option?

@AceOfSpadesProduc100 you would have to ask Derek that question. I would much rather they get Vegas to where they want it first. Arm might be ok in the future, but in the here and now.... Windows.
