Microsoft Office has been replaced by "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" 🙄 (not a joke, see office.com)
Fortunately there are many good alternatives on the Fediverse:
➡️ @libreoffice - Free open source office suite, can be used entirely offline
➡️ @CollaboraOffice - Online fork of LibreOffice, upstream contributor
➡️ @nextcloud - FOSS personal cloud including collaborative office tools
➡️ @CryptPad - FOSS online office suite with maximum privacy
➡️ @ONLYOFFICE - FOSS online office suite

I've been using LibreOffice since it split from OpenOffice. It's rock solid and available for both Windows and Linux (and other OS's, though those are the two I've used.)
I admit, I've never had occasion to use the database tool, but I used the writer and sheets apps constantly. And the presentation app, has done everything I've needed to on the rare occasions I've gone to it.
You *could* pay me to go back to Microsoft office, but it would cost a lot.
