> as ubiquitous and useful as Microsoft 365
What is this saying? Is this sarcastic?
I don't know anybody with a Microsoft 365 subscription.
I suppose the cloud storage is nice, but you can do much better; Google gives you double that for the same price ($99/yr).
Hi. Now you know one person.
Also: Google One gives you 2 TB, MS 365 Family gives 6x1TB for roughly the same price (for a total of 6 seats). The packages differ in multiple ways, being different fit for different use cases.
Also note: I'm using Google docs at work, and while Word for one example has too many features, Google docs is lacking even on the basics like document styling (think custom paragraph styles), it is painfully inadequate for business use, lot of work is wasted on working its limitations around.
Businesses, a lot of people have it through work.

Nuh uh. I get 6TB of OneDrive for $100/yr*. Granted, it's across 6 accounts.
For $100, I get 2TB of Google One.
Edit: OK, so they upped it to $130/yr.

I don’t either, but the lesson to be learned is that you live in a bubble. Microsoft makes many millions of dollars a year off of those subscriptions. Just because the bubble of people you interact with doesn’t mean that those people don’t exist.
OK no that was a lie. I know one person that has a Microsoft 365 subscription. I hate it when he sends me word or outlook document links or whatever the hell. Just use Google docs, dude.
