For end users, we can define four basic computer functions - data entry and manipulation, graphics, gaming, and text editors. Again, for the end user, data and text editing can both be done using web programming, rather than client applications like Excel and Word. Spreadsheets and text editors on the local computer are going to be history. For basic graphics with some editing features, web programming can also be used. So, unless you are a real professional graphics designer, then you don't need any client programs installed on your useless Windows computer. Keep your computer to a minimum by using web application through a web browser. That's what the big companies want anyway. What do you think the cloud is? SAAS (Software as a Service) is a poor attempt at controlling all of your data. Microsoft is still struggling to keep people addicted to their office products at the same time they want to make money using SAAS using the poor excuse of a program called SharePoint. They don't know which one to concentrate on, so they keep hope by not defining how to use their applications. Microsoft only has about two more years of life in it. Bye, bye, and good riddens. Linux is the answer, for now. Even gaming is done on-line.
