Purpose-built devices tend to be much more secure while less tightly-couple hardware and software (e.g. Windows PC's and Android devices) tend to be a lot more vulnerable. With COVID, I know of companies that have 10's of thousands of remote employees working on PC's, including my own. A lot of them have abandoned hardware tokens in favor of soft tokens on smart phones and things like that. |

I'm pretty spoiled. My position provides me with downloads of almost all Microsoft apps on all platforms, every single Adobe app(all platforms), the entire Google suite, Unlimited storage on Google, Unlimited storage on Box.com, 50GB on MEGA, 1TB on OneDrive, 1TB Dropbox, and a personal Furk.net subscription.
Any friends here need any software, I can probably find a way to help you out... PM me.. |

We used Teams and had very little issues and they were quickly corrected.
Ghosting when using backgrounds was my biggest gripe. Quote:

The thing about thin clients is that the device itself is less of a staging area for network-based attacks. Windows machines are usually the source of 3/4 of all attacks on an internal network. |

Returning to this, Microsoft 365 is a no brainer if you have people you want to share your subscription with. I finally decided to migrate from Dropbox. I hadn't realized that you get SIX accounts for $100/year, and those six accounts can each install it on 5 devices. Granted most people won't actually install it that many places, but in theory that's 30 installs of Office and 6TB of storage for $100.
I've shared it with my brother, parents, and grandparents who all had Dropbox subscriptions. As a group, we all just got a discount of $300 a year and got Office for free. |

We're prepping for a Gmail / G Suite transition next weekend. 140K people moving off of MS, at least for the time being. |
Some interesting stats out today from IDC...
https://www.macrumors.com/2021/02/17...old-macs-2020/ It's from MacRumors so the headline is about Chrome OS outpacing MacOS but the real story here is the top line in the graph. It's obvious Google is making headway. https://images.macrumors.com/t/rIpGf...arketshare.png |
So did this guy ever get advice on where to purchase the product he asked about? It seems more like 101 reasons to not use Microsoft Office.
