Microsloth Windoze and Orifice have unfortunately been basically business standards for multiple decades now. Word was first released in 1983 and "Office" (with Excel, etc.) in 1989. Even if people don't use Orifice themselves, almost every document you come across (other than PDFs) is in .doc format because that gives the widest potential compatibility ... as long as it's a simple document. If it's a complex document, then compatibility tends to go out the window. (For example, TextEdit and QuickLook on the Mac can read and write .doc / .docx format files, but even mildly complicated formatting will end up looking a mess, especially in QuickLook.) > Satya could probably not give less of a shit whether he's getting paid > $xxx/mo. a head for that on Chromium/Linux or Edge/Win11.
