@dalias@hachyderm.io I did indeed mean Office 2024 Home.
I suspect that Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are used more than everything else by far. My main concern with Office 2019 is that it’s end of life, meaning one needs to be very careful to never open an untrusted document with it. That’s beyond what I would expect from a non-technical user, unless someone else set them up with a non-networked VM.

@dalias@hachyderm.io To clarify, I’m concerned about attackers using N-day vulnerabilities in software that won’t be patched. Those build up over time, and once an exploit is written, it can be used even by script kiddies.
