  • A large part of what makes Microsoft products better then the alternatives is everyone else uses them. LibreOffice is good enough, as are a few other options. However everyone you work with is using Microsoft office and the differences are just annoying enough as to make it better for you to get on the Microsoft train. Likewise KDE and GNome are both good enough desktops (on whatever kernel), as is MacOS, but since everyone else is on Windows it will be easier for you to be as well. If significant numbers of people were using something else then it would no longer be easier for you to choose Microsoft. Europe is large enough that forcing them to switch will for large parts of the rest of the world to rethink. My company as offices in Europe, if those offices are no longer on Microsoft it becomes easier for IT to say lets move everyone to something else.


  • If you have loved ones who will be financially worse off without you then this is important. Make it easy for them to grieve without worries about paying all the costs.

    even if nobody is finencially worse off without you taking care of this now saves them from preditors in the funeral industry. However this really one makes sense when you are old enough to know where life has setteled everyone - otherwise you might move and now your funeral is someplace where nobody rememberes you.
