At this point it is no longer a surprise that many companies are carrying out the support for ARM processors due to the launch of the new Apple M1 processors, and this time it is Microsoft who has updated its Microsoft Office office suite to accommodate the new processors.

Although being an office suite does not require spectacular CPU performance, It is always better to run a native version of the application than a version translated through Rosetta , especially in the event that Rosetta 2 support ends in the future .

Also, that Microsoft has ported the Office suite to Macs with Apple M1 processors implies that it will also have a better support and understanding of ARM in general , something that should also positively affect all those Windows computers with ARM, as they would be those equipped with Qualcomm processors.

This update also brings a major change to Outlook for Mac, and is that, for the first time, it will have support for iCloud , so that users who have an Apple email account will be able to receive their email messages in Outlook, just as they would in other email clients.
