[dba-Tech] google sheets vs excel

[John Bartow]

For personal use. Does that make it better? What I see is continually incompetent Microsoft marketing and much more competent Google marketing.
FI - There was a recent security info article concerning Gmail and O365mail being targeted for attacks against their IMAP protocols. There was reportedly a 44% success rate.

I never once heard the article repeated with Gmail involved, it was always mentioning O365. And while Gmail users had to use IMAP in the past, honestly WTF do you have IMAP turned on with O365?! Every device in the last decade supports Exchange protocol. MS Marketing = crap. Google fanboy marketing = Mac fanboy marketing of old.

Change is hard for lots of people and the one glaring thing that google sheets has over Microsoft is the offer of free use.  I think you still need a license last time I checked to use excel 365 online. There was a free trial but that’s hardly the same thing as google’s Free offering.

Still I rather use what’s available and I’m still and excel guy because work pays for 365. For all my personal stuff I use apple’s numbers app or Google’s sheets.

Simple enough everywhere.
