I was quoting from the linked post, but yes, instead of OS lock-in, things moved to document lock-in, but now that is being challenged as well. The big fight is over who will be the next-gen office productivity winner. Google Docs/Sheets etc., OpenOffice, and a whole raft of other orgs are looking at ways to break the document locks that Microsoft (and other lock-in docs like Adobe PDF editors) have been able to control as industry standards. It’s a massive business opportunity ripe for a cataclysmic change.
