Paying to use Microsoft office when OnlyOffice exists, lmao.
And if it’s a company paying for the user’s Microsoft office bs, then imo the point is mute.
Honestly, Microsoft can get bent. They aren’t going to negotiate to 0, these actions are being done after being long overdue, and it’s clear this administration is raising hell.
And the extra incentive here of $29B in tax dollars isn’t going to hurt either.
EDIT: LibreOffice is great if you live in a bubble world where Microsoft Office hasn’t dominated the business and school markets for 30 years. But here in the real world OnlyOffice and Google Docs are popular because they’re backwards compatible.
If LibreOffice ever wants to have a chance of overtaking OnlyOffice, Google Docs or Microsoft Office, they need to work on backwards compatibility with Doc and Docx. Also I don’t get the “payware” issue. They’re selling services. The Software is FOSS. It’s AGPL v3.
OnlyOffice? The fuck is that?
Looks
Repackaged open source payware trash.
LibreOffice works just fine without having yet another third party dev pilfering it to make it their bankroll. They’ve seemingly built an entire ecosystem with resellers and all trying to FUD themselves into a claim of being more compatible with MS doc formats than LibreOffice.
Support LibreOffice development instead.

Or…
Just pay for MS Office if you have document compatibility concerns.
OO even breaks .ods spreadsheets created in LO.
I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted. OO is great for MSOffice files. I love LibreOffice, and it’s great for many things. It just can’t beat OO at MSOffice interoperability
