So, just now I see this over on twitter https://twitter.com/RensStehouwer/status/1214837011997241344 "Damn, the @Microsoft office pricing model sucks. I don't want a subscription and I don't want to pay €300 for a dressed down version for two persons, just because I got a new pc. I'm using @libreoffice from now on, and I'm advising everyone to do the same." with an interesting reply about Collabora Office for Android. So, seems to me that this Twitter user is a candidate for the MS Store subscription. Why would they want to do that? 1st; this isn't a lease of software. It won't stop working after the subscription period. 2nd; the convenience of real automatic updates during the 18 months. 3rd; reasonable and fair price for the update service. With part of the funds going directly towards shared community work. Anyway - thanks again, Thorsten. I'll go write a draft for the SM post and I think put it to the list before I share it - in a separate thread.
