Honestly its deserved tho. This was predicted, foreshadowed, proven and could have been entirely prevented. Not all is lost tho, there are lots of big open projects that can replace everything that msoffice does. Just gotta start properly mandating them for public institutions.
Not Excel. There are billions and billions of man hours in the world’s Excel sheets. LOL, some places use it as a database.
And the real fear is, what if an Excel replacement seems to work, but jacks your numbers up and you can’t tell? Remember when the first Pentium would fail at certain math tasks and people shit bricks? Trust is the issue.
You make it sound like microsoft doesnt constantly brick peoples production setups and fucks up their numbers and stuff. I get where you are coming from but msoffice is far from a painless experience. The switch would be painful once, gotta pull that band aid off.
Microsoft may fuck up production operating systems, but their Excel product does not fail or change. Not. Ever. Excel is arguably their most rock-solid product.
Why the hell else would the entire planet not change over to FOSS office applications?! Hell, we ran Google for Business at my last job, still had to provide Excel to accounting.
