Does Microsoft plan to completely eliminate offline based Office suites and completely convert Office to the Cloud?
The Cloud has its disadvantages to offline, and I am concerned that Microsoft may be completely eliminating offline based Office suites and completely convert their Office suites to Cloud based. If Microsoft will be completely converting Office to a Cloud based suite, I want to send Microsoft some feedback asking for an offline version of Office to be kept. Does Microsoft plan to completely eliminate offline based Office and completely convert Office to a Cloud based suite?

It serves it's purpose right now as digital rights management for Microsoft. Offline applications are too easy to crack/patch, and Microsoft is butt-hurt that they aren't making as much profit as they would like to. Personally I recommend LibreOffice and OpenOffice over Microsoft Office. The only think you'll be losing is a few over priced templates. You can easily pay someone to make you a custom template for Libre or Open office as they're open source and GPL based.
