DesertFOXJust 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!

Eugenia LHow come most people (governments?) don't use Softmaker's FreeOffice? It's also available on Linux, and it's a German company...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.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/office" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#office</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/msoffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#msoffice</a>

Josh RenaudToday at work we were forced to upgrade to Office 365. Wow, what a mess. So many things to hate. For example, the search bar in Outlook. It is awkwardly positioned in the blue title bar, off-center. It is surrounded by extraneous icons/junk, only some of which can be dismissed to declutter.The search bar itself looks okay initially.
