Every time some colleague uses office and I’m forced to hop on as well it feels like my whole workflow just grinds to a halt and there’s nothing that I’d want more than to throw my laptop out the window… There’s not much else that I hate with the same passion like ms Office. “Admittedly excellent”?

The second point is that as has already been mentioned, you can keep using the computer after the software support ends, that doesn’t really work for most subscription software.

That was exactly my point.
Which is really funny because most (all?) students get 365 free from their school already
