No more Microsoft

I don't want to come across as a damn drama queen, BUT:

Like a bolt out of the blue, as of a couple of hours ago, ALL of my Microsoft Office apps are gone/won't open. Clicking on MS Word, I get the message "This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher". With Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, I just get "This app failed to open properly. Click OK to close this message".

I use Microsoft Office for my contract law firm work. My clients have confirmed that both their Microsoft Office and their Internet are down. Microsoft Edge browser also gives a totally blank home page.

Without MS Office, I can't make a living. Will update if it comes back. If it doesn't, both I and my clients are fornicated.

You can work on Word docs with Apache Open Office.
