OpenOffice has community forums, a mailing list and other helpful resources online. On the down side, users will need to keep a DIY attitude and hunt down fixes for problems they find. It’s free because it’s an open-source project, which means a community of developers are supporting it and learning from it. It’s a software suite of programs just like Word, Excel and other Office software tools.

Microsoft has moved most of its Office products to a monthly subscription plan - which on the plus side means phone or chat support is included. This may have you thinking about upgrading - and it could cost you. It’s done.Office 2007 still works with Windows a decade later, but without support, here are newer (mostly free) alternatives I am, in the meantime, certain we won’t ever see another standalone version of Office. I don’t know when Microsoft will finally switch over to a Chrome OS-style Windows, but I do know it’s coming. The next natural step from here is Windows as a service.
And that’s what Microsoft thinks it has in Office 365.
What you care about is delivering great services that will keep customers coming. Not only is that where its enterprise customers are now, but if you’re offering services instead of packages, you don’t care so much about having control of the bits. That’s one of the reasons why Microsoft has been embracing open-source software. Why? Because, looking ahead, Microsoft wants to cash in on services and not products. Heck, a Microsoft web developer told Mozilla’s developers on Twitter that they should throw in the towel on Firefox in favor of Chromium. It wants you to use archrival Google’s Chrome instead. The upshot: Microsoft no longer cares if you’re using Microsoft bits on your computer. And what are modern browsers? They’re Chrome-based browsers. And, even more amazing, Microsoft senior cybersecurity architect Chris Jackson actually blogged that Microsoft wants you to stop using IE and start using “modern” browsers instead. Second, Microsoft is cutting off support for Internet Explorer (IE) 10 years sooner than expected. It’s replacing Edge’s internals with Google’s open-source Chromium code. First, Microsoft gave up on developing its Edge web browser. You can see this in what might first look to you like two unrelated developments. And the money is in cloud-based services. Microsoft is continuing to move its business model to where the money is. In Microsoft’s last quarter, Microsoft reported that its Office revenue increased 11%, which was driven by Office 365 Commercial revenue growth of 34%. Back in 2015, I pointed out that Microsoft made only 10% of its revenue from Windows sales. Instead, it wants you to rent a service from it forever and a day. Microsoft doesn’t want to sell you bits on a floppy, CD, DVD or download anymore. What does Microsoft’s marketing push against itself mean? It means that it is moving from being a product company to being a service company. In the software industry, a 16-year drought for killer apps was once inconceivable. What exactly can you add to an office suite these days, anyway? As far as I’m concerned, the last worthwhile “new capabilities” came with Office 2003. I’m sure the line of users wanting to sign up for those “new capabilities” is already forming.
