# Introduction
-This project is basically a Desktop wrapper for the web version of [Microsoft 365](https://microsoft365.com), which is free but with some basic limits.
+MS-365-Electron streamlines your workflow by offering a dedicated desktop interface for the free, web-based version of [Microsoft 365](https://microsoft365.com). Think of it as a convenient launchpad for web applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, eliminating the need to navigate through browser tabs.
I initially made this project because I wanted to use Microsoft 365 on my Linux system with a native experience. Later, I decided to make it public so that others can enjoy this too!
-Don't expect this to be a full-fledged Microsoft 365 Desktop Suite (like we have for Windows/macOS), it's just a wrapper of the web version of Microsoft 365.
+This is not a full-fledged Microsoft 365 Suite, but just a web wrapper for Microsoft 365 Web, made with Electron.
