It's really just businesses and people who use Office a LOT. Pretty much my entire job is used in MS Office.

Do you use the cloud version?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Both. We have installed programs as well as OneDrive and cloud versions that can open documents on the cloud.

Interesting. I've used the office cloud and found it less pleasant than the desktop version. I guess for certain use cases (multiple people working on the same doc) it's better.

Oh yeah, it isn't as good as the application. It's slow and cumbersome and has trouble with larger data sets. It IS nice for editing in tandem and quickly viewing a file without having to open the whole program. But for any real work I do I open in desktop.
