![]() I did not think it was possible to have a worse app than the other Office apps, but Teams is much worse. It is still only compiled for Intel, and therefore requires Rosetta to run. So don’t get me started… But Not Teamsīut Microsoft Teams still does not have native support for Apple Silicon. There is so so much wrong, bad and awful about the UX in Microsoft Office apps, and Windows. It still has the crap ribbons, but at least you get your menus back on macOS. Hell, if you are forced to use Microsoft Office apps, the biggest and best reason to switch from Windows to macOS is that on macOS Office must also have menus. Ribbons !!! The bane of existence of every person that cares about product and UX design. Eventually eliminating menu bars entirely in Office apps and Windows, and replacing them ribbons. Microsoft went astray and down the road of UX ruin many many years ago, when they move to the ribbon UX. Just really awful User eXperience (UX) design. I’m glad they finally updated, but it does not fix Office’s real problems. ![]() Perhaps this is due to the crap technology and ancient code buried deep in all of the older Office apps. Later on when I looked closely, I could notice tiny performance improvements. Most apps gain a significant and very noticeable performance improvement. And the Microsoft AutoUpdate app installed the updates on January 13, and I didn’t notice. I am forced to use Microsoft Office every day – sadly and very unfortunately. Yet I didn’t realize until MacRumors noticed it 5 DAYS after Microsoft released the updates and I read MacRumors January 18th article, Microsoft Releases Office for Mac Update With Full Apple Silicon Support in Excel. Perhaps Microsoft is embarrassed it took so long. There is ZERO other references to supporting Apple Silicon natively. Microsoft, Janusection of their Release notes for Office for Mac ![]() If you previously used Rosetta emulator to run Excel, you may now disable it and run Excel natively on your devices. Microsoft had just a teeny tiny note about referring to it in the Janusection of their Release notes for Office for Mac that only says this:Įxcel is fully supported on devices with Apple Silicon CPUs: Power Query in Excel for Mac is now natively supported on Apple Silicon processors. Check out This Was Inevitable in my article Apple Silicon Macs Are About More Than Just Better Performance. That WWDC was in June 2020 and Apple shipped developers test hardware in the summer.Īnd anyone paying attention knew that it was coming for years and years. And it has been 1 year and 7 months since Apple officially announced Apple Silicon at Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). That was the M1 MacBook Air that shipped in Nov 2020. ![]() It has been over 1 year and 2 months since the first Apple Silicon Mac shipped. Microsoft FINALLY got their act in gear and shipped Office support (sort of – not all apps) for Apple Silicon. ![]()
