    It’s honestly pretty expensive compared to the alternatives. If you compare a business setup with windows plus office etc plus the support fee you can get all of that for free plus a much lower support fee from a variety of independent companies with Linux and libreoffice. The typical office worker really doesn’t need the few corner cases where MS office maybe has an advantage. Honestly for a business I would even go with Google tools. Same data privacy issues, but at least the product works great. MS office in the cloud is hot garbage.

        What else would I mention? Some doesn’t have an office suite and figure is the only other competitor.

      imnate compatibility with other organisations is a huge selling point.

      For companies at a certain scale / within a certain field I don’t think it’s even up for discussion.
