Look at that shit! Before it was here are your two browsers choose! Now it's...how about for the letter A? Suppose a website starts with an A, would you choose Edge to be your default browser?... then you choose chrome or Firefox, and when you click on a link Edge Pops up with some shit like...Are you really sure you wanna use Firefox to view websites that start with the letter A?

Fuck Microsoft! Give us a fucking break you assholes! You are this turd of a company that is just stuck to company's assholes and that's the only reason any fly will ever touch your software.

For the average home user, Linux is a possibility. But MS has the office world captured.

Just try to replace Office, their directory services, etc, without having costly (as in time) issues with all sorts of things.

That said, MS is caught in the middle with O365 and Azure - no reason to use Windows if they just host it all for you.

I guess MS Office has special features that are now essential and integrated into office businesses. But personally I've been using Libre Office even on Windows already. But then again, I'm the average home user.

I mean, any time I use one of the browser versions of the office apps, if what I need takes any longer than a few minutes I always switch to the desktop app because the browser apps are frustratingly slow to use.

That said, I'm still switching to Linux because I use LibreOffice at home.
