I have had open office installed on my computer since 2008. While back then word wasn't complete shit I was still using it for many years. But now there is nothing Libre office has that word doesn't so fuck MS office.

"Jerry, could you come into my 365 copilot?" - some boss at Microsoft probably.

My kid destroyed my newish laptop and I could only pluck the memory off it to salvage something. So I am back to surfing and doing office projects on my old Alienware Aurora R4 from 2011 running Windows 7. No more gaming for me but also, no need for office products for now and the foreseeable future. Today it would cost me almost double to replace the laptop he destroyed with how much my memory and graphics card would cost. I am so happy that when my Office 360 is up in March I can tell them to fuck off. I am not now nor will ever be a fan of having to pay you over $100 a year so I can open a Word Doc or an old Excel spreadsheet. I am using the web-mail version of my email so I no longer need your Outlook, either.

And..... since I have been hanging out on Lemmy I have seen way too many posts about Linux and gaming to ever think I will buy a windows product again. I miss not playing my Flight Sim and games like Madden but I will never upgrade this OS on this old beast.

Like others I am looking forward to the day when I can build my new computer and install Linux on it and enjoy gaming again.

Silly consumers. Microsoft will tell you what you want, when you want it, and through sheer force of an 800 pound marketplace gorilla, they’ll continue to shlurp in 20-30 Billion dollars in pure uncut profit every three months.

Geez it’s like you guys haven’t been getting screwed by this convicted monopoly for forty straight years with absolutely no end in sight.
