It's crazy that organizations are willing to spend millions of dollars on Microsoft Office simply because people are used to it. There are literally no features most people actually use that aren't completely duplicated in open source alternatives. Whatever amount of time it takes the user to find the button they're looking for costs less than the permanent subscription cost for something that will only get more bloated and expensive with time.

Many times I've seen people state that they use Windows because they know it, but they can't do trivial things such as set up a printer or connect to WiFi.

Most user's Windows ability is to look for apps on the desktop or Start menu.
