[xubuntu-users] MS Office Online Native Wrapper For Xubuntu

[Klaus Maas]

Aren't there any other problems to tackle on Xubuntu first than bringing 
Microsoft spy software to it?

Especially since there are excellent alternatives available on Linux.

A switch between OpenDoc and MSDoc formats all the time, because I have 
to for third parties, but I encounter problems very rarely.

LibreOffice's learning curve is  very shallow, especially if people have 
pre-ribbon experience which still seems to be the case for many public 
adminstrations which excel in skipping upgrades.
