You can use Office apps in the browser now. I've only really used Outlook and Teams there, so YMMV.
- DrBazza 2y agoThere's still a lot of Office functionality in the desktop versions, such as automation of other desktop apps, and also Excel plugins (so many finance companies use that), so there's still "lock in".
- thyristan 2y agoBrowser based MS Office is crap. Half the documents produced in desktop MS Office are broken there, worse than simply using LibreOffice to open them.
- throwup238 2y agoLast I checked you couldn’t even use absolute positioning to place elements in Word docs. I was trying to make a lost pet poster, and that was the first and last time I tried Office365.
- ompogUe 2y agoBlew my mind that I could install Teams in Ubuntu. Was both amazed (MS compiling for Linux) and disgusted (MS compiling for Linux). Though it unfortunately broke with Wayland, so had to move my work machine to Windows using WSL.
- tim333 2y agoAlso Office and Outlook are available on Mac of course.
