Remove Microsoft Office suggestion #1979

This is plainly ridiculous to me. Even from a security perspective, MDAG is not a standard Office feature, and the default configuration of Office leaves users far more vulnerable to attacks. Information about using MDAG with Microsoft Office belongs in a Windows guide/tutorial, not a one-line suggestion on this page. I'm not saying it's not noteworthy, I'm saying this is not the proper place.

This change was originally added in #1423 which describes the PR as "Removes Framadate" and the only discussion of Microsoft Office's MDAG functionality was a single comment in a discussion titled "Remove write.as" - clearly this was not properly discussed in the first place.

That was always the intention, actually in another branch I simply made it a tip.

why are you removing the iWork suite? Perhaps an oversight? I didn't see iWork being discussed nor is it known to be privacy unfriendly.

It'll be mentioned in the macOS page.
