Hi, Not really. I personally don't care if I am adequate or not in its use. If I have been using a Mac computer all my life, or if I didn't use Microsoft Office daily, I wouldn't be adequate.
SO even if you have it, adequacy is not a guarantee, regardless if it is a necessity to use Microsoft Office or not to do your work. Besides, a lot of third-party programs actually provide the same level of usefulness that Microsoft Office might provide, though more efficiently. One disadvantage to Microsoft Office is actually that it takes forever and a day to load, regardless of the computer, which minimizes efficiency in that you have to wait a few extra seconds. Even if you get it started up, the possibility is still that it may crash and will not remember where you left off.
