At that time, Microsoft execs noted they'd already started moving the Mac apps to universal binaries, thus natively supporting both Apple's new Arm silicon and Intel chipsets with the same executable. Last month, Microsoft made its core Microsoft 365 and Office 209 apps available for Mac devices with M1 via the Rosetta 2 translation layer that is automatically enabled in macOS Big Sur.
The redesigned versions of the core Microsoft 365 for Mac apps are built as Universal apps, meaning they're built to run on various architectures. Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote will work faster and better on the new Macs, officials said, while also continuing to run 'great' on Macs with Intel processors. Microsoft is beginning to roll out today, December 15, new versions of many of its Microsoft 365 for Mac apps that are able to run natively on Macs with M1 Arm processors. What is Microsoft 365?
