We were so close to being rid of it last year. The Senate unanimously Approved the “The Sunshine Protection Act” which would of gotten rid of the fall back period we experience in November. But Congress never brought it to a vote so it never became law.

I said it would likely happen, I wasn’t denying it.

That will likely happen, maybe. We really don’t know until it happens.

Depends on your definition of savings, if the entire actblizz catalog ends up on gamepass then it’s a huge savings for gamepass subscribers.

That hasn’t been true for a number of years, at least anything developed on Xbox.

Counter Strike 2 replaced it.

Just play Spec Ops: The Line

We do have in-house IT but they are just glorified equipment swappers. They don’t actually fix anything, just reimage hard drives.

A large company is going to want support, and that is what you pay for.

If you read a little further in that paragraph they do offer paid support options for larger deployments. The company I work for has over 100k employees.

Well believe it, I’ve been complaining about how crap it is for business use for years but they don’t care since they are saving a ton of money on licensing fees.

I’m sure that is the case which is why I don’t understand why they chose to use libreoffice at all for any department.

Libreoffice is only free for home use, they charge license fees for business use.

I have no clue as I don’t work in those departments. But it sure seems silly to use Office in one department and Libre in others. I just know IT said it was done as a cost cutting measure and they figured since both software suites are technically compatible as long as you save all your files in office format it should be fine. (It’s not)

That’s because context matters, maybe read the comment I replied to. I called you a moron because you attacked my comment without any merit or proof of my position and accused me of shilling for freeware.

#79 on the list, would you like to see my installed software on my company laptop? They are cheap bastards, not sure why since they make a ton of money by gouging customers on the regular.

I wasn’t virtue signaling at all you moron, I was commenting on a fortune 500 company being such cheap penny pinchers they would rather use an inferior product. I would much prefer they use office.

My company is currently #79 on the list and I can screen my work laptop right now if you like. They did it because a Libreoffice license is $50 per computer while office is $300+.

Meanwhile I work for a HUGE fortune 500 company that uses libreoffice on work laptops.

I don’t even listen to her but this has got to be the dumbest take I’ve ever seen.
