With Office365 and Outlook web access looking more and more like the "installed" outlook, I had more people switching to Linux permanently.
I do not use macros in Excel or such myself but from what I've seen and tried .docx,.xlsx, etc. file types seems quite compatible and page layouts almost 100% (contrary of some years back
)
A few years have passed, but the only thing that kept a lot of people in the Magical WiNdOwS World was the Outlook in their office suite.
Personnaly I'm not a fan of web apps, but mails seem to have taken the main web route for almost all offerings and that's what I'v been using for years now.
Standard web browsing and office work can be done with Linux.
The problem resides with proprietary softwares for accounting, security cameras and so on.
You have to be sure what the computer will be used for before installing Linux.... dual booting is less user friendly and converting Windows PCs in virtual machines is a task for the tech guys. (or you have to buy a Windows licence to install one).
A note, well maybe also a question, I have not used a shared printer on a Windows server in a Linux installation... this maybe can be a concern too.
Kirk out!
