And we're coming back to this idea of like, I want something that feels fast, which means it has to be local. I want something that is mine in a real way, like it's a file I can see on my computer. I think that stuff is coming back and it matters to people. We're going to see that best of both worlds where we get the collaborative thing, we get the cloud access, we get the cross-platform stuff.

You could sort of argue that we skipped the correct middle step there, right? We're like, okay, doing the thing where I email you a file that says David presentation one, and then you email it back and it says David presentation two, and then final, final, final dot PPT. Like that sucks. We can all agree that that is bad.

But I think there's going to be a push back towards the idea of like local on device, but still useful and in sync and collaborative stuff coming back.
