At least use 11 Enterprise (24H2) to mostly avoid the nonstop cacophony of ads. I don't want to hear about 365 or OneDrive or OneNote or Copilot every 3 μs.

Before AppVolumes got bought and became VMware App Volumes, there was Softricity (which became Microsoft App-V).. the app was actually a thin client to talk to a terminal server running the app in a container on a server. Office "installs" in 1 second because it's already "installed" on the app server. The next iteration was AppVolumes streams already installed apps like "Linux snaps" on-demand for Windows to do away with the separate terminal server.

We have a 365 subscription. I guess that reduces the noise quite a lot.
Please stop paying to rent what was owned instead. You're encouraging bad company behavior like subscriptions for heated seats.
I’m working on that. Nextcloud + MS Office 2024.
