Office does NOT install fast in my experience. I have downloaded the offline installer in order to not have to download office each time I need to reinstall it, but the installer often spends several minutes using 0% cpu and 0 I/O just saying “we’re getting things ready for you”

Office these days uses App-V with Click to Run for the online installations. The Windows Store version (full) installs really fast tho.
