What about people running extended versions of windows 10?
Either way, 80% of the people don't even need 365 desktop apps, unless they're heavy into word/excel. Most would survive with those and/or libreoffice, the only issue is that sometimes things get buggy or icons look different and because of user training, we still recommend 365 premium.
With that said, I have been working for 3rd year like that on linux with very few issues. Now that Outlook users will be forced into the crappier web version, very few use access and it is just about word, excel and powerpoint, it makes even less sense to pay for the desktop apps.
Exactly - curious how this plays out with Win10 LTSC (officially supported by security updates for years and years). Plus it has no bloat and crap and runs amazingly lean and fast.
Also just realized I use LibreOffice anyways (or something similar) so I suppose this does not even apply to me
