How is it that everyone keeps screwing themselves with MSO when even if you pay for commercial use for libre office you come out way ahead. If you want to collaborate on a document or spreadsheet, you dont need to prostitute yourself to microsoft, its a case of being so self important and lazy that one more click or shifting between a telepresence application and an office suite application is to hard. All you people complaining about being down because msoffice products are unavailable need to get a grip on how to use a computer.

While I agree with your sentiments about the products, MS as a company and their software model, some of us are forced to use their products at work and of course some of us have tried to improve things and move away to more standards based and ethical software we don't always win (no pun intended) (and words are my own etc...)
Many people's work computers come preinstalled with MS products and have no choice. You might need to get a grip on how the corporate world works.
