MS Teams is the only important software left, which is still Intel. Really hope to see a native silicon version soon.
And no - I would NOT install any alpha or beta of Teams. In the meantime it is the most important software our company use.

But... I have to admit: no problems with Intel Teams at all. Runs prefectly on my M1 MBP.

I agree that it runs without issues, but supposedly the Universal version is much faster. I can always use a snappier program. :D

I can't run the risk of using a tech preview/beta version. Meetings are too important to have it crash in the middle of a meeting. It's already bad enough when someone's internet goes out, and that's beyond their control.
 
SynologyDrive Client has a beta that is AS-native. Can download it from a link on the Synology Forum, but may be a little early as one user reported a lot of bugs with it. I was going to install it on my MacBook Air M1 since it's not my main production unit, but will probably wait another month or two before installing it.

Still gives hope that light is at the end of the tunnel! SynologyDrive Client, MS Teams, and RealVNC Server/Client are the last holdouts for me to become AS-native... other than Logitech G-hub and Logitune, which I keep closed the majority of times.

Probably not, because it's essentially built into macOS.

In probably 10 years, they will just stop including Rosetta 2 functionality into macOS.

I mean with a Google Search, I have found ways to do it in Terminal, however, there is one way. On a fresh install of macOS, Rosetta is not installed yet. You are always prompted to install when you first try to run an Intel app. So if you never do that, it isn't installed

They switched the channel to "latest continuous deployment build"

All working well for me, no issues upgrading from Intel version and all my data was ok.

Light on CPU, slightly greedy on RAM but in both regards better than the Intel version.

So does "continuous deployment build" mean that it's one step closer to production? Will it go through the preview channel before going into production?

Interesting, perhaps we're closer to seeing some sort of official release or official beta

Nope, continuous deployment is a development thing. Depending on their workflow, it could produce a new build on every commit (i.e. every time they make a change to their code base). Think “nightly” builds, but more frequent. Less likely to be stable than a (beta, pre, rc, whatever) release.

It does seem like that's the case.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ItzLevvie/MicrosoftTeams-msinternal/master/defconfig2 now returns 5 mentions of "osx-arm64". Yesterday when I checked it only had 2 mentions.

It reached Microsoft Dogfood today so some of the Microsoft employees are testing now the osx-arm64 build which will be coming soon to the Public Preview / Developer Preview Channel. Maybe in the next several days or a few weeks - most likely the latter.

Interesting, just downloaded the dogfood preview and it's working great, honestly looking forward to this being officially out since it used to randomly update itself to an intel build when using the exploration previews

Looks good tbh, I'm happy that we are finally getting somewhere with this! Is the Core Audio Driver still using rosetta?

To my continued annoyance that the Authy Desktop app is slow as molasses, takes over 0.5 GB of RAM just to tick-over in the background and eats resources randomly, I tried* the iPad version instead. Works brilliantly - fast and only sips resources with RAM usage in the 10's of MB range.

[* Ok, it was suggested by a friend who also stated they loads of Apple Silicon users were doing the same - guess I was late to this one but posted just in case anyone else was living under an Authy rock...]

I've looked all over with no luck for this silicon Synology Drive beta. Mind sharing a link please?

EDIT - Synology Drive Client for Apple silicon

Seems pretty beta right now. Would stay away from it until the next version at least.
