Office users still prefer offline software

Microsoft has launched the new Enterprise Office 365 Office suite, which is based on the way software services are subscribed, and has a great connection to cloud services. Even Microsoft's new Office 2013 standalone software has cloud capabilities (such as saving files to SkyDrive and the free use of Office Web Apps). However, while Microsoft has struggled to convince its office customers to use the cloud, there are still people who insist on the standard offline features of office.

PCWorld.com's report says these people are "heavy" Office users (Power users); in other words, these users often use some of the features that most other users are not bothered to use.

In fact, many office families enjoy this Microsoft Excel can use macros (macros) to automate tasks, and this work is slower when using a web-based application. There are also documents created offline, issues of compatibility when viewed on web-based applications, and security issues for uploading documents and files to a cloud server rather than offline storage. Finally, the cloud server will have the risk of downtime (downtime), and it has happened more than once.

So even though Microsoft and other companies may want to move customers to the cloud, users like PC maker Psychsoft PC's Tim Lynch insist on using old-fashioned PC software products.
