@alwayscurious@infosec.exchange AIUI that's large-org-only and -oriented. Just something with minimal misfeatures, compatibility with documents, and functionally like the Office you could buy for home use before they started removing components and making it subscription-oriented is all they really need.
Pro Plus 2019 looks like the last version that actually has Access and other components (might not be needed tho) vs 2024 Home that's (I think?) just Word, Excel, and PowerPoint..?

@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.
