"Hey guys, Felix from Microsoft here."

Maybe you should have disclosed that you work for MS in your comment?

Didn't mean to annoy anyone, I'm nowhere near the office team. The downvotes speak for themselves though, so I guess apologies are in order.

Microsoft has been caught astro-turfing on HN before, you really don't want to be lumped in with that lot so if you can resist the temptation to plug microsoft products in threads about competitors it would be a benefit to everybody (even to Microsoft).

I think I'd rather just use etherpad+LaTeX.

Google's ecosystem needs work, true. But I don't think I'd ever willingly get back into bed with Microsoft.

Happy to check out Office if you can assure me that you won't resell my data or give it to the NSA, as claimed by X-Keyscore :)

Who do I trust more with my data? Google or Microsoft?

Hmm..
