I provide support for a Windows-only application that has to do automated document conversion. Some customers refuse to pay for an additional Office license and the only other option is WordPad. Going back to work on Tuesday is going to suck.

    I would love if we could use LibreOffice, but our application just doesn't work with it and our devs won't even look at it.

    Isn't installing libreoffice in a corporate environment against the TOS?

    Actually no, from what I understand. You can install it, just most businesses don't allow it because they offer no support for it. There are other companies that partner with LibreOffice to offer enterprise solutions though.
