    piracy theme intensifies
    Office is one of the easiest things to pirate. It 1. is very popular 2. has an official mass-activation way that can be easily exploited. I suspect we may have a spy in there
    Or, y’know, just use LibreOffice with the tabs setting and contextual groups if you can afford experimental features
    or if you still hate the UI just use WPS instead, who cares that it’s awful and from China you don’t have to pay

    Also, why would you even get Word or PowerPoint on macOS?? Excel I understand but these two??

      Main reason would be full compatibility with Office documents.

      Because Word and Powerpoint are what they know.

      Let me clarify what I meant. I am saying that we pay for the OS which includes applications on both Mac and Windows. Only Mac gives us a free suite of office applications.
