Neither, but the subscription is obviously a better deal since it comes with the OneDrive 1TB plan too.
Install openoffice
Office 2007 master race here
What alternative even exists? Libreoffice is hot trash for anything that isn't basic word processing and sheets. Google docs and sheets is also trash and a botnet
Is that even being maintained anymore? I thought everyone had left for LibreOffice.
Call me a fag but I just use mothers office 2000 disc
just keep using office 2003
So I guess if I was a pedo, I should use iCloud or something?
the powerpoint clones of both openoffice and libreoffice were supreme hot trash last I checked, had to get Powerpoint 97 because at least that rendered properly and with a framerate higher than 2
Oh on that note is there anyway I can permanently disable this little shit?
What's wrong with libreoffice? I've never had any problem
It's not a big deal for people with jobs. NEETs and 3rd worlders can just use LibreOffice crapware.
Keep using pirated 2016 which still works perfectly.
If you pay for software outside of enterprise you are retarded.
Don't install it.
This has always been the case you stupid faggot.
Buy it, you get those features for that year release and that's it.
Buy a subscription, get new features, but end up paying fuckloads more in the long term.
I'll choose to keep 2010 and 2013 because they just fucking work
>What is C2R, Retail2Volume conversion and KMS activation?
>Castrated
Oh my, I wonder what that means
>at this point, Office 2019 is basically a limited version that doesn’t include the most interesting new features of its Office 365 subscription counterpart.
And what are those mission critical new features?
>The most interesting of these new features is called Ideas. That may be figuring out a specific design and layout in PowerPoint, or finding images for your presentation. In Excel, Ideas may suggest which charts to use or help you discover outliers in your data.
>Microsoft Search is a new search capability that will soon roll out to Bing and Office.com
>Microsoft wants users to remember that the connected Office 365 apps will offer higher productivity because of their cloud connectivity and a higher degree of security.
>cloud
>security
>Microsoft
Yeah, ok.
This, all of those "new features" is just cloud/advertising botnet trash for trendy faggots
OwO what's this
pirate
Microsoft call milk its cash cow all they want. Personally I’m good with LibreOffice.
None, my job provides me a license.
would you feel that way too if they gave you a free T-shirt instead of the 1TB cloud account?
Office 365 is just Office 2019 + bloatware and cloud botnet, just get .iso image of Office 2019 ProPlus VL and activate with KMS_VL_ALL, but during the installation remember uncheck OneDrive and "Skype for business" trash.
Just install Office 2010 bruh
Most people get Office 365 for free through job/being a student
Pirated word 2010 and libreoffice for everything else. Using ms office above 2010 is just retarded
my office buys me license to install it on 5 computers every year. I'm good. Thanks.
Spotted a fag
I get office 365 for free from uni, and it keeps activated even if I'm already graduated from there.
Who even uses Office Applications anymore?
> MSWord
Unless you're in college writing papers, what's the point? Building a resume? Just use a text editor + Markdown, or LaTeX.
> Powerpoint
What fucking more do you need aside from words on a plain background? Google Docs or LibreOffice is fine for this.
> Excel
are you 50 year old receptionist?
I admit MSOffice are the best office tools around, but I feel the only reason its still around is because older employees and businessmen feel its essential software, when it really is not anymore.
I have the office 365 subscription for the 5tb drive, but I still only use a pirated office because the official installer can't be limited to just installing Excel and Word.
Yeah, the reason why MSoffice is still relevant is more like because of industry standard. In my country, everything runs on MSoffice. You will be expected to send your files in docx, xlsx and pptx formats.
Imagine being so sheltered you think latex is relevant and receptionists sling around formulas in excel
>LibreOffice exists
>Google Docs / Sheets / Slides exists
>Buying this for anything else but for official business because taxes
Whooo lad
Nice Malware.
>implying you can't just scan the shit before you run it
Its as simple as mate.
I'll use LibreOffice.
>libreoffice
>google docs
yep good luck sending in your resume and having it not look like shit when HR/dept manager opens it in M$ Office
inb4 pdf because at least 50% of companies out there dont let you upload pdfs
FAKE AND GAY
LaTeX
MS Office supports odf. It should look the same unless they are intentionally messing up their implementation.
this
I work in a university, so I gets it for free anyway.
>paying for MS products
>posting on Jow Forums
Pick one.
Just send them a pdf?
this, except you can use markdown/latex for slides too. WYSIWYG is for simpletons.
pirate it lol
or cuz it works just as well
You mean I can pay more money after a few years AND give M$ access to all of my personal files? Wow!
Pedo shit is just an initial excuse, this opens many other possibilities like search for copyrighted shit, search for shit that isn't illegal but can put you in a watchlist or expose you in some dangerous way, and the list goes on...if the file isn't in your computer you don't control it anymore, if you're comfortable with it go on.
russian botnet
Most people are simpletons. That's where you make billions instead of pocket lint.
Yeah I'm aware. I once updated a markdown presentation on the fly in front of a load of people. Shock, bewilderment, confusion.
What is wrong with libreoffice?
How about stopping being a faggot and start using Latex?
>he trusts antivirus softwares
How naive...
Neither. Where I work in technical documentation we use XML (S1000D, kind of like DocBook) and for hobby I'll just use that or something lightweight like Markdown.
The Latex documents I've seen looks fucking awful, is this because everyone use the same exact font and layout or coz it generates documents inherently ugly? I want to try it
Libreoffice
It's inferior to WPS office in all ways besides freedumbs
Usually the point with LaTeX is to focus on the content and leave the presentation to the pre-existing templates. You can make it look however you want by modifying a template or creating your own template. Some things like font and general layout can be easily changed with extra packages, e.g. if you don't like the extra-wide margins (which are meant to keep line length to ~70 characters, the optimal length for humans), you can just use the geometry package:
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
>Just use this magical arcane formula to change margins!
You are worse than command line only fags, at least they have tab completion/peeking and can guess commands.
>magical arcane formula
absolute state of Jow Forums
>tab completion/peeking
Most text editors have auto-completion, even vim/emacs. There's even WYSIWYG-esque LaTeX editors like LyX with cute little buttons for you to press to insert these mystical runes.
Just use word with the computer modern font, your retarded audience will never know
Nice to know, thanks.
Who the fuck uses Powerpoint?
Make a bunch of images in god-damn Paint and use an image viewer.
Fuck your dumb effects, literally nobody likes them besides autists and ADHD kiddies, which are the kinds of idiots attracted to the Advertising industry.
pretty much what he said. You can literally just google around for a template you like and paste it into the header of all your documents
>Who the fuck uses Powerpoint
How out of touch are you?
if you'd rather do this kind of stuff in MS Word than learn ~10 basic commands and how to use google then 1. idk what you're doing on Jow Forums and 2. you're in for a life of disappointment and frustration.
Use rclone to mount with encryption

This completely, or a site license of 2010.
those are very poorly drawn, but thanks for at least not posting naturalton

ILL TAKE CASTRATION AT $299 PLEESE
>remember kids, muh cloud = MOAR productivity, MOAR security!
fucking bullshit supreme
You will pay for the Office 365 Subscription and you will like it. You will pay for the subscription because Microsoft rules office software.
You will also pay for Windows as a service and don't for get the Microsoft Intune subscription as Group Policy will be depreciated soon. The future is cloud vendor lock in.
>he doesn't know
I hope you don't input sensitive information on that keyboard of yours
Kek
Got into a prestigious university with a resume created entirely in Gimp and LibreOffice. Sent it as .doc, checked compatibility with MS-Office 2003. Worked perfectly and was complimented on the design and structure.
Was meant for
LibreOffice.
>The future is cloud vendor lock in.
This. While their SJW pawns castrate the open source movement.
No, you'd keep everything on your computer encrypted and I guess share stuff over bit torrent via a private tracker type deal thing. Maybe throw some vpns or TORs or whatever in there somewhere too. Or maybe you'd just mail it to people in microsd cards hidden in some greeting cards. In case it wasn't obvious, I'm no expert in transmitting illegal numbers without getting caught.
For legal numbers that you just don't want under corporate scrutiny, just get some network attached storage.
That's what pdf is for.
This, Microsoft is the real winner in the long run.
Thank god that my last company never canceled my MSDN account, and I can get all MS products for free.
