We've been seeing variations of the same article every week. The answer has been the same for a long time: this is great but unfortunately there are advantages in using Office and that's the reason we shouldn't expect mass migration anytime soon.

Excel, in particular, hasn't been unseated despite billions in investments from competitors over the years. Parity will happen someday, but it's at least a decade away.

Arriving first (ye ye Lotus 1-2-3 existed we know) and early extreme lobbyism sure stands strong.

You acknowledge your first argument is invalid, handwave that away and then your whole idea of Microsoft's office suite's dominance is "lobbyism"?

Good lord.
