More and more companies I talk to are moving to G Suite - companies that already have an investment in Microsoft are moving to Office365, while new companies starting out are using G Suite. I think in a couple of years you'll reach parity where people have experience with both.

use it! :-)

In all fairness, they provide a great educational system with thwir
workplaces and Chromebooks. My daughter went from a school with Google/Chromebooks to a school that uses iPads and a third-party system,
and it's nowhere near as nice - not to mention kids iMessage all day at
school, despite a ban on "text messages" during school.

I'm from California, born and raised, but planning on retiring to
England. My wife is English, she has lots of family out there. We've
been checking out little villages where your neighbors know you, the pub
is the social center of the village, and you have a high street and a
transit system so we don't have to drive as we get older.

i've lived in areas like this. it's not really great.
don't know what you mean by 'high street', though.
