@Rasmus - I created the first version of Org Mac Outlook and at the time
didn't have an active virtual running so didn't notice the difference.

@Alan - It does make a different if you have "Microsoft Outlook" as a

feature. “Microsoft Outlook” may try to launch the Windows Virtual
“Microsoft Outlook.app” will force the OS X native version.
