The GNU project is not the best source of information about Microsoft,
as they are not representing what the majority of users thinks about the
company (unfortunately). If we want to convince users to avoid Microsoft
we must put on the table independent sources of information, such as the
reports from Kaspersky based on extensive research which affirm that 80%
of all malware worldwide is carried by Microsoft Office documents (for a
reason, as the hidden complexity of those documents makes them very weak
and prone to being infected with malicious code).

I am not spreading falsehoods. There are many entries here about
Microsoft Office being a malware
https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-microsoft.html.
Also, a nonfree software is not controlled by its users, and Microsoft
Office software are nonfree software. The developer usually uses this
power over users to introduce malicious functionalities like
surveillance which count as malware.
Does Microsoft Office not spy on its users?
