Getting sick of all these Windows
updatesscheduled remote degradationsWhen I sold customers office a couple years ago. I would give them two options, you can go with MS365( or what ever bullshit they call it now) and pay the yearly subscription to always have the newest product. Or you could buy perpetuals and hope they don’t start sunsetting perpetuals faster than they did back then. They have always made perpetuals unusable after 6+ years through one mechanism or another.

thats some bull
Not sure they understand the meaning of the word “perpetual”. 💀
They met with telecom companies and heard about “unlimited”
Microsoft directs affected users to three options: […] or paying for a Microsoft 365 subscription or a new perpetual Office Home 2024 license.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice and I must be a Microsoft customer.
I’m using Office for Mac 2024 and honestly, the main drawback is the monthly updates. Good lord am I sick of updating everything all the time. I’m pretty sure they didn’t have to do this with Atari Pacman in the 80s.
Their charm offensive is full steam ahead,I see.
I think it’s great what they do for the Linux and Foss scene
They think they are too big to fail.
You know who else was too big to fail? The Roman Empire. Let’s check in to see how they’re doing these days…
They cannot do that, it’s a lawsuit magnet.
They can, they have, and they will continue. A $20 million US lawsuit fine is just the cost of doing business to them. Barely a rounding error.
That’s just sad:
The only reasonable option here is to switch to LibreOffice or some other FOSS product.
EuroOffice
