- _coldfire 10y agoI've seen a few companies using google docs because no one knew excel also has a collaborative spreadsheet mode. All had MSoffice. Last place had about 60 users. Average load time for the gdocs page is ~90 seconds. Users access the page dozens of times a day, most leave it open as a tab but memory usage became an issue. Ever-increasing spreadsheet size eventually meant multiple computers were crashing/becoming unusable with the sheet open. I offered to migrate it to Excel/VBA, was an old tiny codebase for simple calculations. Management bought more RAM instead, made me laugh.

- _coldfire 10y agoThere's MSoffice for mac, haven't used it but it certainly exists. Unless you mean VBA? Don't see why they'd sell office without macros.
