Microsoft, We Scorn You



Do you remember the good old days when you could buy the ridiculously overpriced and bloated MS Office? Sure you do, it was Halcyon, back then. But not anymore. MS Office sells itself as an "app" that you have to rent by the month or year. Not dissimilar to Adobe's incredibly awesome "Creative Cloud." Yeah, creative on the wallet.




Well guess what, NWO software overlords, Team LSP isn't falling for your little game. Bye bye, Illuminati elites, we scorn you.

Open Source,

LSP

My MS Office is old school. Does that mean that I've drifted behind the pack?

Hubby bought Word Perfect off Ebay. He only paid about $30 for it. Not the most current version.
He also tried Open Office. He said it's a very generic group of programs. It had trouble with some Word documents.
He used Word Perfect during his Civil Service time and so he was familiar with that, and why he went with it.

I don't use anything Cloud knowingly. I don't trust that at all.

I do understand your frustration.

Be safe and God bless you all.

Yay - open source is the way to go. Or even Linux for the brave.

I use LibreOffice, which is a great open source MS Office replacement.

I think you're ahead, financially...

Do not trust them!

I like Linux but don't use it much -- maybe I should.

I loaded that up yesterday -- nice alternative.

I started using Star Office, which morphed into OpenOffice, which then had a "code fork", and one branch became LibreOffice, which is included with almost all Linux distributions.

I haven't had ANY problems open Micro$oft documents or spread sheets, modifying them, and then saving them in either the MS format, or one of the LibreOffice formats.

And people I send my documents to, and who use MS Office, don't have problems reading them either.
