I’ve yet to have discovered any errors or lack of functionalities, but to be honest, I have not really deep dived into these apps yet. A whole new world compared to my ol’ Lenovo Thinkpad. Super fast and responsive and with no known errors so far. There is not a lot to say about these apps other than that they are a joy to use. The look’n’feel of my Outlook Calendar - with dark mode of course. It is expected to be ready by the end of Q1/Q2 2021. In the Microsoft Office 365 suite all apps are built natively for Apple silicon, except for Teams and Onedrive. Otherwise it will say “ Application (Intel)”. If it is ready for Apple silicon it will say “ Application (Universal)” (and actually support both Apple silicon and Intel).
This will open a window and you will see the status on the line called “Kind:”.
If you want to check if an app is built natively or not just go into your Applications folder in Finder, mark the app you would like to check and then press ⌘ Command + i. There are still some apps that will not run at all on the new M1 Macs and you can check which apps right here. These apps will be translated “on the go” with Apples own Rosetta 2 “emulator” and Rosetta 2 is being praised for doing a very good job and the translated apps fast and responsive (and with less errors). The change means that all apps built for the Intel processors must be translated to support the new M1 chips - where the processor, I/O, security and memory are all inside one tiny chip. The recent launch of the new Apple silicon chips takes Apple lightyears (a bit too much?) into the future. The difference between the new and old Macs The Office 365 Suite neatly placed within a folder in the dock.
