Re: Standalone versions need an MS Account
Try Libre office, already. Seriously. The niche features of MS probably aren't needed for the majority of users.
Businesses with big pain in the arse applications built in excel should be chucking them into proper tools.
Nobody forces us to use MS, and the more that bugger off, the more they will have to raise their game.
Corporate types are slower at accepting change of course, but licensing is a big chunk of most companies opex lines, with Office being well up there in terms of volumes.
Outlook is probably the only real 'dependency' business users really have. Other mail/calendar clients are available.
