Me, still using a site licensed copy of Office 2007 from a job I had over a decade ago.
I'm still using office 2003
i miss 3.x
So, an abundance of software companies come and go while they stand tallest for decades. Then, now, at this moment just when shit is going down, they decide to try the business model all other failing companies used. God it must be such a different world for these decision makers that can't see how actual people think and act. It's a baffling phenomenon to me.
LibreOffice and OnlyOffice are decent replacements. I haven't paid for Microsoft Office in decades.
Lots of people using libre office.
Where my open offices boys at!
It's time to use LibreOffice & OnlyOffice
Long since been.
I'll use Windows 10 and pay for the updates for years while using old versions of office. Fuck Windows 11.
Are you sure about that?
While businesses will be charged $61 for a single year of ESU, they also have the option to pay $122 for a second year and then $244 for a third year of updates. Microsoft will only offer consumers a single year if they’re willing to pay the $30 fee.
I am so glad that LibreOffice products satisfy my needs, can't even imagine having to upgrade just to use the Office suite! That sounds insane but thankfully LibreOffice, again, is solid but I get if Microsoft Office is better in a professional setting.
That’s funny because I bet Firefox will keep running my MS applications just like it does now. That’s what I do on Linux anyway.
But if I’m not forced to use those tools, Libre Office it is!
See, there is absolutely no reason for this. It's simply out of spite for their users.
