Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”
UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 4 days agoIts is almost universally the main reason that even a lot of Linux daily-drivers still have a windows install available to them. They fuck up Office enough and there isn’t a reason to even have Windows for most users.

Who the fuck is dual booting for Office? You just made that up.

Literally everyone I know that runs a Linux desktop and also has a job.

They don’t just use office from the web, via Linux? I would not shut down my PC and boot into windows just for office. I keep my Windows around because my wife prefers it (for now).

I’m not one of the dual booters mentioned, but the desktop version of Excel specifically has several important features that the online version flat out doesn’t support. Primarily I’m talking about creating and running data queries, which is useful for analyzing data and generating reports from remote data sources including external files like CSV and online databases. You can do all this without Excel of course, but this shows the online versions are definitely limited.

Yeah I think I’d be more likely to use WinBoat or something similar to run a virtual machine rather than fully boot into Windows.

Web office has barely any features compared to the desktop thing, iirc.

office on the web sucks, lacks features, and basically defeats the purpose of using office at all
