it is complete crap. Yet every MSCE (Microsoft Click Engineer) pushes their client or customer to use it.
Microsoft loves it. Now not only do you not (or ever) get a set of discs with your so called copy of Office, Microsoft completely controls your data, shoves ads down your throat, can change the file format when ever they want and yes......even gets to charge you forever for the privilege of using this garbage. Add in the regular security issues of using a online hosted solution like Office 365 and you have garbage on top of garbage.
As others have mentioned there are numerous alternatives out there. LibreOffice is a great office solution and Thunderbird works nicely as an email client. Both are cross platform (run in Linux and Windows) leaving the door open for an escape from the Microsoft garbage pit.
