MS Office (Word and Excel) - better on MacOS or Windows 11 for ARM?

[swandy]

I have been running Windows 11 PRO ARM under Parallels. I have a subscription to Office 365 and I generally leave the installed versions on the Mac side of things. Is there any advantage or disadvantage of using Office (mainly Word and Excel) on the Windows side? I know I can still access the files on the Windows side using the Web version - but then the documents have to be uploaded to OneDrive instead of iCloud Drive (which I prefer because I also occasionally have to open an Excel file on my iPhone 12/iPad mini 6 using Numbers which is easy with the Excel files in iCloud).
Thanks

I have it installed as both Apple Silicon native and on a Windows 11 ARM VM and I don't see any differences in performance.

There are still some Excel functions only available on Windows, such as power query and power pivot.
