DesertFOX<p>Just added another 5.25" floppy disk release from CSmeds99's recent Internet Archive uploads to my personal retro collection: "Microsoft Office 4.3 Professional". This version from 1994 came on 37 x 1.2MB HD diskettes, which really is A LOT! It just took me about an hour to verify them. I guess at that point in time, I remember why everyone just went for CD-ROMs! Holy cow! 😃 </p><p>Link:<br><a href="https://archive.org/details/Microsoft_Office_4.3_Professional_5.25-1.2MB" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/Microsoft_</span><span class="invisible">Office_4.3_Professional_5.25-1.2MB</span></a></p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FloppyDisk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FloppyDisk</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Office" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Office</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Oldschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oldschool</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/90s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>90s</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/MSOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MSOffice</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/WfW311" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WfW311</span></a></p>

Eugenia L<p>How come most people (governments?) don't use Softmaker's FreeOffice? It's also available on Linux, and it's a German company...</p><p>Edit: Yes, I know it's not open source, duh. But for a government or company that wants to switch to a non-MS office, that wouldn't be a huge consideration, believe it or not. Remember, EU is trying to move away from MS, foss or not. So this should be a strong contender, being a German product, even if not foss.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/office" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>office</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/msoffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>msoffice</span></a></p>

Eugenia L<p>These are all the relevant, native office apps for Linux. I installed them all to test and show them here. Some of them aren't maintained anymore (e.g. a few Calligra apps, Glom etc), but most are still applicable.
