@polroc@mastodon.social What I truly do not understand is companies continuing to use MS 360, even switching to it from Google Workspace. It's a truly awful and second rate product from my experience, and everyone.I know who is forced to use it complains about it.

@Majik@mastodon.cloud @polroc@mastodon.social I dont promote neither, but because of completely different reasons, stemming from difference in business model : - MS: applications + services for Office collaboration, security, OS and Identity. Trapped because its a vast convenient ecosystem, with propietary fileformats being a minor actor but monopolism and data-sovereignty are the main concerns. To replace it one needs not only LibreOffice and NextCloud but couple of more things. https://m365maps.com/Microsoft-365-Education-A5.htm

@Majik@mastodon.cloud @polroc@mastodon.social Not me. After 15 years of using Google's tools, last year I got access to Microsoft's entire Office suite thanks to my university. I was wowed by the superiority of every product, e.g. MS PowerPoint blasts G'Slides out of the game. But then, Outlook is a shit email client for someone who's comfortably settled into Gmail for two decades.
