Are you kidding? M$ makes *bank* on Office 365, whether it's running as
a bloated Web app or a bloated native executable. *Herds* of CEOs who
validate themselves by cutting checks for stuff they'll never have to
use have been inflicting this on their workers for like a decade now.
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.
