A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Unlikely....MS Office is still the default for many enterprises today. 365 Office online version is not convenient. OSX version is deliberately made worse to entice people to use Windows

Microsoft has done an excellent job achieving parity between Mac and Windows by making the Windows version worse, as well.

Google Docs is fast becoming the standard office suite in a lot of organizations.

Maybe for newer organisations.

But not for large oranisations. And when some jobs depend on creating the shiniest powerpoint presentation in the world, MS Office is unlikely to go away for now.

Google's presentation software is on par, if not better than Office, especially for embedded YouTube/videos for demos.

MS used to have a large moat on office suite functionality. But Gdocs has largely closed the gap.
