  Installed MS Office 2.0 some months ago with it just for fun. It actually works pretty well apart from the dictionary files, for some reason those are not recognized

  I’ve used it for a week just I was curious:

  1, is it good enough for modern day to day word processing (mostly emails)? Yes it is

  2, can the modern word processors (Office 365, LibreOffice, Google Docs) recognize and open the files created with it? (doc, rtf anything but plain text) Yes they can

  Nice, I will be able to play Civ2 on Windows 11!

  In related news, with the latest WINE on Linux 16 bits/32 bits applications are supported, so I was able to run my beloved Civilization 2 without problems.

    Civ2 - well, at least its Test of Time incarnation - has specific patches to keep it running without external tools.

    You must have lived in a different reality to me.
