Must say I have never had any real issues. Maybe I have been lucky.
Maybe you are. I've had to deal with issues on my moms laptop. The new software is horrible to work with.
I no longer use office as I have everything online - Google Sheets, Google Docs, Google drive, etc...
Then there's my free online apps for what I need. Pdf, img and doc converter, blah blah...

The university provides us with a full office365 account so I utilize it across platforms without any issues. Both windows and MacOs.
Very decent for productivity.
It's not really about the money, @BioHAZarD. it's more of accessibility. I am able to open the same files if I log in from another PC - my needed files are in cloud storage so it's easy to fish it out on a PC in the Internet Cafe and print it or put it on a flash drive.
I used to think this way in my youth but I now know better.
"Right tools for the right job"
Microsoft has some amazing tools that the open source side lacks. Also Microsoft is starting to release a lot of their stuff to the open source communities so things are looking up.
I can give you a list of things Microsoft does better and cheaper than open source.
Moral of the story is there is no free lunch. You will pay sooner or later, with Microsoft it's up front.

I get the same with one drive??
Sorry If I am missing the point.
Given that the office365 environment is accessible from any pc anywhere as long as u have internet of course.
Ummm OneDrive is MS based software that comes with Windows 10.
It's different in name but no difference in cloud storage usage. It's the same with icloud for iPhones and ipads. Just different brand names.
Hope that makes sense to you. It's like Dropbox too.

yup. agree on that.
but i can use onedrive as part of the office365 environment across my different platforms be it MS or MacOs or Android. So i have all my stuff in one place in the cloud and accessible from basically my ipad. laptop or phone and all. With purpose built apps for all my devices it integrates seamlessly.
if for instance i am writing notes on my ipad in one note it is on my laptop when i get there and i can view it via my phone and it is stored on OneDrive.

Lol I must have been 13 when I used them - Commodore. 1985, never had them. Ran commands to play Dos games
The best Windows version is an uninstalled one
But now that I think about it, the advantage of Onedrive is that it syncs for you. Google drive is online and you gotta upload everything, a bit of an hassle for seamless backups.hehe ive never used google drive
there’s an app download for google drive, dropbox and icloud that works just like one drive btw

yup
onedrive does it all for you. very convenient. and all the programs work in the same ecosphere.
@RainstormZA if you use everything online, you must have a very stable internet! What do you do if the internet is down?
No, not always stable but that's life. BTW I always have plan b - backup connection to fall back onto.
Yep, me too! Got to ... I go into a rapid decline when there's no Internet!
To be honest, I'm kinda surprised I've mellowed out on the need for Internet usage. I only use it if I have to.
I guess I'm getting old. Lol
