What's more flabbergasting is that there are no real alternatives to Windows that are as accessible (price wise and technically speaking). Macs are too expensive. Linux is out of the question for the average user since drivers tend to not work out of the box on several machines, and more importantly because Microsoft Office does not work on Linux. Most people (who aren't retired) need a computer where they can create and edit documents (pptx, docx, xlsx) that they can share with others. Linux prevents them from doing this. Using only Google docs has not caught on for the average user, sadly.

I'm not sure I'd agree. Most people I know use Google docs by default since nearly everyone can access and unlike M365, it's free.

But most enterprises that I've had experience with use Microsoft Office and not Google Sheets?

Hasn't Microsoft Office (or whatever concoction of 365, copilot and other eterprise-ish words they call it today) been turned into a web app over the last 15 years? Isn't it perfectly usable for like 99% of users?
