Is this the farewell to Microsoft Office! LibreOffice breaks historic record without AI

SAPO Notícias6 September 2026 at 07:00

The productivity suites market just registered a surprising achievement with LibreOffice 26.8. Officially released on August 26, the new version surpassed the one million downloads barrier, establishing a historic record for the open-source project.

This milestone is particularly notable because it was achieved without resorting to artificial intelligence features, something that competitors have used as a marketing argument. LibreOffice achieved this growth by maintaining its traditional free software approach.

The success contrasts with Microsoft Office's trajectory, which has been losing ground in the market. The open source community has found in LibreOffice a viable and increasingly popular alternative for daily productivity tasks.

The achievement demonstrates that, even in an increasingly competitive market centered on AI technologies, there is still room for projects that prioritize stability and being free of charge as their main arguments for choice.

The call appears with the bank's number. It's not the bank

Scammers are using a technique called spoofing to falsify telephone call identification, making legitimate bank numbers or the Portuguese Banking Association (APB) appear on victims' phones. This practice allows a legitimate entity's number to appear on the screen, but the call is made from another location. APB recently issued an alert about scammers presenting themselves falsely as bank employees, taking advantage of the trust generated by the real number to try to obtain victims' banking data.
