Microsoft Word defaults to saving in its own file format .docx, instead of the international standard .odt
To allow others to collaborate, Microsoft publishes documentation on how Word builds and opens .docx files.
So LibreOffice would have no trouble opening .docx files with all formatting perfectly intact.
If Microsoft actually followed their own documentation in building Word. Which they don't.

The other issue is that people use Word files to share documents with extensive formatting and embedded images in the first place, instead of converting them to PDF or using typesetting software.

Das ist aber im Einkauf allgemein so, bei allen Business-Portalen. Deshalb sollte man sich als Eigentümer sehr genau überlegen, wann und ob man überhaupt Mitarbeitern die Berechtigung zum Einkauf erteilen will.
Nur das Microsoft VLSC war halt schon besonders schlecht gemacht.

The only weak point LibreOffice still has is collaboration with people who abuse proprietary software (which violates its own published filetype "standard") to do things it was never designed for.

Surely there are more natural alternatives?

It's a highly processed mayonnaise which they dilute with water and modified starch, then increase its volume by blowing nitrogen into the mix.

Fun fact:
It was invented during the Great Depression, for people who couldn't afford real mayonnaise.
And mayonnaise was allegedly invented during the Siege of Fort St Philip in the 7-Years-War, because real cream wasn't available.
So Miracle Whip is a poor man's version of a wartime alternative to whipped cream.

Ich denke auch, dass man mit LibreOffice, Thunderbird, OpenLDAP, CalDAV, Nextcloud, u.ä. alles abbilden kann.
Inzwischen gibt's ja sogar Turnkey-Lösungen.

Wurde gemacht.
Aber es gibt im B2B keinen Käuferschutz und kein gesetzliches Rückgaberecht, weil der Gesetzgeber davon ausgeht, dass beide Vertragsparteien gleich stark sind und keine schützenswerten persönlichen Grundrechte betroffen sind. Also gilt Vertragsfreiheit.
Wenn du als Unternehmen bei der Einrichtung des Volume Licensing Centers zustimmst, dass Käufe über das Portal bindend sind, kommst du da nicht raus.

From what I can see, it's a sudo clone with added optional regex functionality, written in Rust.
So you can use it just like sudo, or you can limit superuser rights to directory names that contain a 💩 emoji, but only on Mondays.

Bei meinem letzten Arbeitgeber (IT-Systemhaus) hat ein Kollege im Microsoft Volume License Center mit einem einzigen falschen Mausklick Lizenzen für 16000€ auf den falschen Kunden gebucht.
Er hat es dann innerhalb der nächsten Woche tatsächlich geschafft, sich bei Microsoft solange durchzutelefonieren, bis er den Chef-Entwickler des Licensing Centers am Apparat hatte. Der hat ihm dann bestätigt, dass es keine Möglichkeit gibt, das zu stornieren, umzubuchen, oder die Lizenzen auf einen anderen Tenant zu übertragen.
Die Funktion war geplant, aber noch nicht implementiert.
Und wenn die Firma nicht zahlt, behält Microsoft sich vor, den Account zu sperren, was ca. 200 Kunden arbeitsunfähig gemacht hätte.

(Der Chef hat dann angefangen, Alternativen zu Microsoft zu recherchieren, die er Kunden anbieten kann. Aber es gab nichts was die Kombination von Outlook, Exchange und AD zufriedenstellend abbilden konnte.)

Involuntary Twitching?

If the cops actually had anything real on him, they could get the warrant over the phone while stalling you at the door, or even storm your place and get it later.
And even if they don't get it, no cop can get in trouble for the raid if they "suspect" you might destroy evidence, and anything they find can still be used in court.

It completely invalidates your 4th amendment rights, but congress felt this was needed to protect you against "terrorists" 25 years ago.

I just don't get it.

According to the theory of special relativity, nothing can ever move faster than light speed.
But due to the expansion of the universe, sufficiently distant stars move away from us faster than the speed of light.
And the explanation is...that this universal speed limit doesn't apply to things that are really far away?
Please make it make sense!
