Too bad Excel isn&#x27;t really a standalone product.  Office and windows are necessary dependencies.  Given that, it is a shitty product.  If they broke it out, allowed me to run it on an OS I actually want to use, away from MS&#x27;s gremlins, then I certainly would buy&#x2F;install&#x2F;use.  But as of today it comes with far too much baggage.
