No it hasn’t. The entire installed base of Microsoft Windows (the only
significant market for Office) has never exceeded about 1.2 billion. And
the world population is currently about 6× that.
Think about it: Microsoft’s market has remained stagnant over about the
last decade, while the world has continued to add about that many people
again to its entire population. That’s how irrelevant Microsoft is to the
needs of most of the world.
And that’s why Microsoft is increasingly resorting to rentware/adware
tactics to try to grow its revenues. And prop up its share price.
