Who is Xrero Office for, and who is it not for?
You write, calculate and present in Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, often in Arabic and English, and want to do it on your own computer, offline, with no subscription.
Your PC runs an older or 32-bit Windows (it needs Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit), your Mac is older than macOS 11, or you need accounting, VAT or payroll: that is Xrero, the business system, not the office suite.
