Outstanding! I hope that this is available via my Home Use Program; the change to a discounted subscription wasn&#x27;t very welcome so I never updated past 2016.<p>I&#x27;m trying to leave Office, but for one of my primary roles it&#x27;s absolutely necessary, and being able to use it on my personal devices is a huge time saver. HUP lets me leverage that case without spending a ridiculous amount of money (I use Project and Visio often).

I wish Libre Office could gain popularity. It should at least be used in university and government settings

Incredible. I hope the costs are reasonable. Would love a perpetually licensed version.

Just like the dumb terminal days, where you paid per use. Now with a monthly subscription, but the concept is the same except for the concept that your &quot;terminal&quot; runs the code locally.

Why are they being applauded for this? Having a perpetual license available for purchase at any time should be standard practice, not exceptional behaviour.

Nice! I wish I still had bizspark so I could get a free license.

But will it work on Linux?
