These accusations seem hopeless and have no point.

That’s known for how long now? Two decades?
Did people finally find out that Microsofts Business strategy is to lock you to their system to make it unnecessarily hard to move away from it?
Microsoft knows that they cannot compete on a fair market, that’s why they actively try to lock you in.

The idea that Microsoft should dumb down the complexity of its product which has tens of thousands of developers, because its ‘too hard’ for a company of 250 unpaid developers to keep up is quite frankly bullshit.

Excel using the tactic of being unfathomably better than LibreOffice.

Can Libreoffice also just like work on not having a clunky as all hell office suite? Like so people will actually want to switch.
Legit thats all thats stopping me. Fuck MS Office.

LibreOffice should start to talk when their suite is almost half as good as office suite

Switched from Windows to Linux. Now im choosing between Onlyoffice and Libreoffice. Sometimes using Word web version for University to share my documents via OneDrive.

Microsoft doesn’t make good products but they support them for long enough that everyone else goes out of business or theirs become usable enough to not justify paying for anything else

Whatever your take on Libra office or open office, we should all agree that Microsoft is a greedy, sheisty, anti-competitive company who spends too much time looking for ways to fleece people and fight dirty rather than making their product clearly superior and maintaining it at that level. We don’t need new windows. We just need reliable unobtrusive windows with features within reach IF we want to use them.

Libre Office sucks donkey balls compared to the Office suite where pretty much everything is perfectly integrated into the eco system.
Hate MS all you want, everyone who works professionally with it knows that their suite is infinitely better in an integrated corporate environment and is able to scale well.

Yawn… this narrative is being pushed by asshats.
This is the normal MS account asshattery and not some conspiracy to maim libre.
Dumbest take in here these days.

For the past 10 years MS has been trying to corral you into their ecosystem with ever more intrusive hoops to jump through. They look at what Apple and Adobe are doing and want a taste of that subscription model walled garden BS

Pleeeease let there be another Supreme Court v. Microsoft pleeeeeeeease it would be *so* funny.

I doubt it, even though it’s a subscription service…it has no real competition, Libre/Open barely pushes the needle as is.
Sounds like bellyaching to drum up more Eurosupport for barely up-to-modern-standards software.
