I really didn't expect office 356 to be this big of a hit.

 

Really? That's odd. It will be huge in enterprise and it works seamlessly with Dynamics and Sharepoint.

Free alternatives were rising in popularity, but I guess Office is Office

 

office isn't just office though in this instance and there aren't any free alternatives that really compete with o365. o365 isn't just an office suite, it has dynamics, sharepoint, yammer, skype, rights management, exchange, powerbi, delve, onedrive etc etc all integrated. If it was just the office suite then yeah there are free alternatives that are almost as good or at least good enough.
