Office 2007 and 2010 are like an secret way to have Word open faster than notepad, or a full Outlook that takes less space than the individual Mail or Calendar files.

2007 is wonderful in 32 bit for Wine. 2010 is wonderful in 64 bit native on Windows 11. And you get a "forever" license for like $30 on ebay (the activation server may refuse activation right now, but it can be made to work for new computers, and it's not a problem if you have an already activated one)

They recently cut both from OWA connectivity to outlook.com, but google conveniently provides a pluging (Google WorkSpace Sync) to keep going with gmail.

I'll invest an insane amount of effort to keep them going, just because how how pleasant and reactive they are - and if that requires running in Wine from WSL, so be it.
