I always have for the past 25 years. I always managed to adapt and it had become easier every year.
No university should ever require students to pay an abusive company money because reasons. Microsoft doesn't bring anything new or good tot he table, there are free softwares for everything, so allow me to use that.
Oh! In this case, Office and any other software they have to use, is free while you study. I dont see an issue in requiring students to have computer's that can run the software that the school pays for.
So you're okay with pushing Microsoft down people's throats. I don't want nor need Microsoft software, I shouldn't be forced to use it. There are few legitimate software.packages that require windows, say adobe Photoshop (also, fuck adobe for that) but just standard school stuff doesn't and shouldn't require windows or Microsoft software
