Just to add a little bit of reality to the whole thing.
Talk about deciding what the solution is, then reinterpreting the test results!
Sod all to do with arithmetic; it's about billions of years of evolution resulting in bees that can find food by following complex, colour-based indicators.

I've been using ILMerge and various hacks to merge/squish executables together for well over 12 years. The .NET community has long toyed with the idea of a single self-contained EXE that would "just work." No need to copy a folder, no need to install anything. Just a single EXE. What's a 40MB EXE between friends?

Merging the assemblies makes for a cleaner install and eaiser deployment. It's not as reasonable when you're developing a suite of apps that share common assemblies.

Wow! What a Great, New, Futuristic idea!
Let's go back to the really early days, when everything was included in a single executable, rather than use libraries and frameworks that can be maintained independently!
After all, the best possible use for hard drive space is to consume it with 450 copies of exactly the same code, inside 450 separate executables!
Why even bother with an operating system?
If you need to use a monitor, mouse, hard drive, BIOS functions, just include all the drivers in your exe!
That'd be great! If you want to play a game, for example, you'll get the 1980s experience of having to set up video cards, sounds cards, etc!
And don't bother windowing your apps, because that's way too much trouble -- full-screen command line, that's the way!
I can't wait to go back to the primitive world we left behind and move forward with this Great, New, Futuristic idea!

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft today launched a marketing campaign pitting Office 2019 and Office 365 against each other. The goal? To prove Office 2019 isn’t worth buying — you and your company should go with Office 365 instead. I'm sure their competitors approve
The Office team has had a history of strange advertisements. The "Don't be a dinosaur" campaign as one example.

"In contrast, Office 2019 programs are not connected to the cloud..."
I'm sold.

Wasn't there an issue not too long ago with many 365 users being unable to logon due to Sharepoint issues?  I'm sure they didn't include that in the comparison.

I'll buy whichever version gets shipped with Clippy.
Or maybe just carry on using an old version because let's face it, no-one can remember the last time anything useful was added to Office.

Same here, but it's only about a year from going EOL and filling up with foreverday vulnerabilities.

It was just water. The leak was on a potable water line. What was supposed to be a spill proof quick disconnect coupler malfunctioned when they disconnected it and didn't close the no spill valve.

Well, if that's the way google does it, then that's the right way.
Besides, the google definition of "fraud" says that it's neither a crime nor evil, so what's the problem?
