Not if you REALLY need MS.
Nobody REALLY needs MS. ;-)
You do if your paying customers send them.
It's a myth that open office or libre office are 100% compatible.
They just aren't. If your business really needs to exchange MS docs
with outside firms, you really need MS office.
I found exactly the opposite.
Takes all of about 5 minutes to find unacceptable incompatibilities
if your documents have any complexity whatsoever.
I never found any unacceptable incompatibilities in business use.
Apparently I didn't deal with anyone who thought complexity was a virtue.
Formatting inconsistencies abound. This important if you need to to
send MS docs and presentation counts. Lot's of things that work in
excel don't work in calc. It's really not even close to being
acceptable in shops that need to exchange lots of MS files accurately.
It's truly just a fact. Nothing to debate. So I won't. Google
'incompatibilities between MS office and libreoffice'.
