Office 365 is literal trash

Everything about office 365 for a professional setting is garbage. Every single application in their "ecosystem" is just a worse version of another software. They literally have done nothing to make anything they own worthwhile. The only useful software Microsoft has made is Excel, which people don't even use correctly. It's not a DATABASE, but I digress. Microsoft, you make my life hell.

“Literal” police here. You’re under arrest.

Office365 is fantastic. I have it on all of my devices. From iPhones to PC’s from Macs to iPads.

Office 365 is great and Teams is much better than Slack.

I prefer Google docs myself, free as well unless you need more storage

OpenOffice.org is a downloadable file which is an alternative to the Microsoft suite.

I used OpenOffice years ago because I couldn't afford to buy (specifically) MS Word as a standalone. I loved it when I used it completely at home, on my own machines, etc. I had many problems with opening files (regardless of what format I saved-as) with MS Word on other machines and vice-versa. Has this improved in recent years?

Thank you... it's GARBAGE!

Today I went ahead and decided to work on my chromebook... uploaded the .docx file I was working on the Word App (PC) to Office 365.

Guess what? It's a fucking mess, it fucked up everything! And they have the balls to try to sell it to universities, such as mine, as if it was the best thing ever... "Transferable" files my ass

Office 365 is popular in professional settings simply because of how much easier it is to manage from an IT perspective.

I liked using office 365 so much at work that I bought a subscription for home.
