Office. The entire world runs on Excel, Word and Powerpoint. Unfortunately.


Word and PowerPoint are disposable. Pages and Keynote work just fine. Excel on the Mac is perfectly fine.

But that aside — Excel is a single application. That one app doesn’t determine an entire Corporate IT strategy.


> That one app doesn’t determine an entire Corporate IT strategy

It actually does in some industries, but it is dumb that it does.


You can get that on Mac right?


the comment I am replying to explicitly mentions Linux as an alternative to Windows. In any case, yes, one could use Mac, as I do, but it comes with its own issues, starting from price. I'd happily switch 100% to Linux if I didn't need to work on documents edited with Office. The online version may actually solve this, but it's still buggy as hell.
