For me the only GOOD Microsoft program is a DEAD one. After 30+ years of MS-Tyranny, (Starting with MS-DOS) I've been Microsoft-Free for the past 3 years. In fact, everything I have on my computer is free.
My OS is Linux (Ubuntu 21.04). I get a free upgrade in 22.04 and every year - twice a year, if I want, and my Office Suite is Libre Office. Right, it's not 100% compatible with MS office - but I don't need it to be. I can get my docs, etc. printed anywhere. Happy camper here with Linux and all kinds of free software for past 3 years. I hear Open Office is pretty good, too.
Another Office System Alternative: Get a Chromebook (cheap) and use Google Docs (free for the average user.). I bet I save enough by avoiding Microsoft and other purveyors to buy a new laptop every 2 years if I want. Nah, I'd sooner buy another guitar .... I only have eight of them, so far.
