But that depends on the type of users: for devs & office workers, I think Google suite can replace MS Office and many Internet apps can help with many other types of everyday app that's available on Mac or Window.

"Would you like to not receive our newsletter?" - Super interesting.
Not sure if any real site actually writes so.
