They even edited information about support, it was meant to work but they edited it to your files will be safe and openable in word 365 app

I found that Pages and Numbers work just fine for me at home, and it comes included with my Mac. And if I’m truly desperate, Google Docs and Sheets are always a viable alternative.

Cool but if you handle complex documents with stuff like macros you're straight out of luck. Even if you can get some compatibility you're never going to be quite sure it will all work and look perfectly.

This is how Microsoft keeps their position.

Or if you're not desperate open office/libre office forget the meta because I don't fuck with docs outside of work these days

Just wait. Mac users usually have more money than they need, so they can easily afford lawyers to beat into MicroSlop.
