Microsoft's ad-supported version of Office only saves to OneDrive
Free, but with some heavy restrictions.
Just stay away from this, your data is in their hands
Just use LibreOffice. It's basically on par with what Office was 5 years ago. The average person won't even notice a difference.
The average person uses Google docs for free (well, at the price of selling their data).
And Microsoft is trying to compete with that with this offering.
I think NextCloud is the best competitor and they also have LibreOffice in the cloud.
I feel like most news about Microsoft nowadays can be TL;DR as "this would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad." Including this one - it sounds like Microsoft is trying its hardest to raise the walls of its own walled garden, and failing hard at it.
Absolutely insane. It's become so clear to me that I need to divorce all of these giant tech companies and move to self hosted solutions.
All you do docs belong to us
I don't get folks who complain about libre office at this point. I feel its better but just the microsoft shenanigans with implementation of doc types that messes things up. I don't care. Save as xls and its up to the office person to see it right. If they complain I say it shows fine on mine and send them the pdf formatted correctly.
Macroshit
I just copied and pasted the github thing to unlock pro and office suite, seems easy enough, idk why I never did that throughout college, just never needed msoffice past the year I needed excel and I had it free then, only grabbed it now just to have it
