Partial A GUI wrapper around Apple's Virtualization framework is vibe-codeable. Making Windows 11 ARM and macOS guests install and run well requires low-level virtualization, driver, and guest-tools work that AI assistance alone will not handle.
What it would actually take: Write a Swift app on Apple's Virtualization.framework with a VM manager UI and disk image handling. Windows 11 needs ARM installer patching, virtio or driver integration, and guest tooling for clipboard and display. macOS guests require Apple's restore image and entitlement workflow, so building it reliably takes an engineer with virtualization and OS internals experience.
