    There are collaborative tools in Office that are used by the sorts of people who don’t know what LibreOffice is.

    I know. But I do not see how those would keep the knowledgeable people from working in LibreOffice and saving their documents in OOXML.

    There’s also certain internal policies that tend to classify information in ways that work with Office.

    If an organization relies on “classifying information in ways that work with Office”, the IT security probably has no idea what they are doing.

      Because they’re not strictly “your” documents. You have to share them with co-workers.

          That it’s all cloud based. None of it is stored locally.

          Remember what I said about security around documents? Part of that is that docs are never on local machines. Yes, there are other issues with cloud storage, but nobody gets fired for doing it.

            They are though. Yeah, it’s hidden from the user, and also there are multiple ways to achieve exactly that using Libre

              And if you subvert that, you’re subverting IT security policy. Doesn’t matter if you think it’s a good idea or not.
