Momentum, mostly. You mentioned Office support; I don't think it'll be too 
long before Office is web-first. It exchanges their golden goose (purchasing 
office app licenses) for a recurring revenue model with a wider market base. 
Not a bad choice, looking forward.

I know people at work that use the web apps almost exclusively, even though 
they have the Office suite installed on their laptops.

I've sworn, every time I make a system change, that it'll be the time that I 
install Linux on my desktop -- but I'm still running Windows, albeit 10 
only. We'll see what I do if this PC lasts longer than Windows 10 support.
