School issues every student a Chromebook starting from 3rd grade. Outside of gaming, my kids do all of their work on Chromebooks. Presentations, documents, email, messaging are all on Google products.

And if any of them work for the government, for example, they are going to be forced into Microsoft Office.

I also don’t find it very reassuring how many people here are saying “well everything they do is on Google.” Same problem, different flavor.

  •     > they are going to be forced into Microsoft Office
    

    Not by Microsoft.

    And to be clear, this is far from modern day truth. My wife "works for the government" and the municipality uses Google.

  • It may not be reassuring, however it rather obviously demonstrates Microsoft has no monopoly re Office.
