The problem with cut and paste product descriptions.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

XP is still very widely used in industry, I believe it's due to being a relatively unbloated OS. The number of machines in industrial instrumentation that run on some sort of XP build are phenomenal.

That's interesting, to me at least, given I am not used to deal so much with servers.

I don't think many businesses will make the jump, as most businesses know best what they need.

Also, how does it work, does it like, install then delete the Window's 7 or am I going to have two OS's on my PC but just one of them won't be running?

I've got the office 2010 suite on my laptop, but it's a student copy I got for 15 bucks, which only has one valid authorization, and is one purchase per student....so I can't put it on my new PC. I should still be able to get a similar deal on the 2013 suite next time it comes up on the site my school partners with, but I wanted to look into free and/or opensource alternatives as well, if nothing else to keep getting updates without buying new versions.
Mainly, how do y'all feel they match up in terms of usability, look/feel, file extensions, etc?
I use word and powerpoint of course, but also have to work with spreadsheets sometimes, and use publisher to make various booklets and brochures on occasion.

Their support and development criteria are awful.

OpenOffice being shit is what sparked Libreoffice in the first place.
The original devs of OO got sick of Oracle's terrible production practices and formed TDP, which developed Libreoffice.

Office 2016 currently has a 180-day free trial you can download. You should try that out.

The only thing that is stopping me from using the Outlook part for Mac is the lack of supporting GPG encryption.
I can only switch to Office 365 if it costs me less in the long run, and I can disable all that cloud stuff.

Likewise, Access makes COBOL-driven databases look state-of-the-art in comparison. Though I guess Microsoft has to release something to make MS SQL look objectively better than literally any of the alternatives.
