      Imagine the category 5 shit storm that would happen if billions of tech illiterate bureaucrats would suddenly have to stop working to relearn Word for 5 years again. The world would immediately plunge into chaos.

      No matter how often and how patiently I explain the most simplest tech things to my mom, she will literally just forget everything I taught her after 5 minutes. Those are the average MS Office users. I can fully understand why Microsoft does it. I think it is justified. MS Office is like a benign cancer that would be too damaging to treat or remove.
