The box I'm currently on came with Libre (installed on Win7). Works for me . . . especially the price.
Actually, I might still have access to a MSDN account and could download the "new ones" for free - but since I don't do Win10 I haven't checked for a long time.
Makes me wonder how their marketing (and for that matter, their developers) would feel if they knew I've reached the point where I wouldn't take their software even for free?

They wouldn't probably care less... there are another 2.5 billion (just a number, I don't know how many actually are) people doing it.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Ahhhh - you forget !
From here, the CP Lounge, it goes to all of the internet "Influencers" and then main-stream media and beyond! Why by the time the dust settles they'll be glad if they can convince someone in China to bootleg their stuff.

I am one of those wondering why. This was the first time in the past 3 years that our app had any problem and for three years we have not had to hire an IT person to maintain our own server and have spent 0 seconds worry about it.

Kitty explains the cloud.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

And explains it pretty well!

Office 2003 is still working just fine.

Why does this not surprise me in the slightest (you still using software released pre 2010)?

Great. I have a W10 VM running Office 2000. Only thing that doesn't work (I think) is LookOut.
