    Just use LibreOffice. It’s basically on par with what Office was 5 years ago. The average person won’t even notice a difference.

      The average person uses Google docs for free (well, at the price of selling their data).

      And Microsoft is trying to compete with that with this offering.

      I think NextCloud is the best competitor and they also have LibreOffice in the cloud.

    I feel like most news about Microsoft nowadays can be TL;DR as “this would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.” Including this one - it sounds like Microsoft is trying its hardest to raise the walls of its own walled garden, and failing hard at it.

    Absolutely insane. It’s become so clear to me that I need to divorce all of these giant tech companies and move to self hosted solutions.

    I just copied and pasted the github thing to unlock pro and office suite, seems easy enough, idk why I never did that throughout college, just never needed msoffice past the year I needed excel and I had it free then, only grabbed it now just to have it
