It's a story in Germany all the time that some open source zealots get a town government to switch to an off-brand office suite which is so bad that the government worker's union goes on strike to get Microsoft Office back.

You mean Munich, and Microsoft bribed them millions of dollars and a HQ relocation to put Microsoft Office back.

Most people are just highly resistant to change, even change for the better.

The unironic use of "off brand office suite" here is hysterically tragic.

Also, the productivity suite formerly known as Office is these days called "365 Copilot".
