- KTibow 2y agoI think that's an exaggeration, I know a few Google school districts and companies.
- bombcar 2y agoThe "free" alternative is Google Docs and friends. Lots of people who don't need "business" office just use that, and even some businesses do.
- bonestamp2 2y agoYep, our company uses Google Docs/Sheets. If someone wants an MS Office application, they have to prove that Google Docs/Sheets can't do what they need. So most of use Google and it's fine. I even like somethings in Sheets better than Excel (and vice versa).
- donatj 2y agoI don't know any individual that pay for office. Google Docs is good enough for 90% of things and free.

- LUmBULtERA 2y agoIn my sector of the business world in the US, every corporation pays for Office 365 for their employees. I don't know a single corporation that uses Google Docs.
- Macha 2y agoEverywhere I've worked has been Google Docs. Usually there is a process on the side that if you really, truly, need MS office specifically they can get you a copy, mostly for people in certain parts of finance who do specifically insist on Excel, but Google Docs has been the standard for like a decade now.
- LUmBULtERA 2y agoI'm curious which sector that is? I work in energy.
