     i do have a piece of commercial only runs on windows professional software that requires locally install excel for one small feature to work. at least I don't need the cloud crap anywhere near the locked down windows VM.

     and i only use that piece of commercial software when clients pay for me to use it. the FOSS alternatives do the job surprisingly well, and the only "innovations" the commercial app has are cloud features irrelevant to the core function of the software.
