Honestly, this is being blown out of proportion. For the vast majority of people this is fixed with a normal software update, five minutes tops. Anyone running a seven or eight year old Mac that's never been updated should already be worried about security, not just Office. Neither Apple nor Microsoft are "forcing" anyone to buy anything, this is just basic computer maintenance. Who here is still running a 2017 Mac that's never had an update?

This is the same old trick: forcing replacement through a "security certificate" instead of broken hardware. The Mac still works perfectly fine, it just stopped serving Apple and Microsoft's interests. Anyone still running a 2018 or 2019 Mac that works great is going to get pushed into buying a new device just because a digital certificate expires on July 13. Is this what they call sustainability? How many perfectly functional devices are about to end up as e-waste because of this?
