Microsoft office on Linux soon, I hope.

I know there are alternatives but my files do not work with them. I use it professionally and truly need Microsoft office… sadly.

I don’t think they would do that because a lot of governmental institutions could easily switch to Linux.

I did not consider that. I am surprised that any government even allows Windows to be used.

They use an enterprise or custom government version which has a lot of the tracking and annoying crap disabled

That and why give away their market share? They have people in a stranglehold because of their incopatibilities with other office clients. Just like they did with Internet Explorer.
