Microsoft gets mixed feedback from users about how their links to Office files should open. Some users prefer the Office web apps, others prefer the Office desktop apps. We've designed an experience where users get to tell us what they prefer, and then their links open in their preferred mode - either Office web apps or the Office desktop apps.
This way if you prefer to work in the Office 365 desktop apps most of the time, you can get to work in fewer clicks by turning on this feature.
