The last thing I ever want to do is 'Learn more' or have you 'Remind Me Later': Microsoft is pushing fullscreen ads for Windows 11 laptops to people still using Windows 10 (www.pcgamer.com)

I always Alt+F4 when they pop up, gets rid of them until the next time

There's a very tiny option in the bottom left that says "keep using windows 10"

I only use windows at work

I sometimes use doors as well, or I get weird looks

Got one yesterday. I’ve already made up my mind that I’m likely to switch to Linux Mint on my current PC and run that till it drops dead. Because I’m sure as shit not messing with or upgrading my three year old PC over something asinine like a TPM module. I don’t even want a new Windows. I like my PC just fine the way it is.

If Microsoft thinks they can force me to Windows 11, I fucking dare them. I switched to Mac before and I’m not afraid to switch to any other OS either.

I never seen a ad, is this because I debloated 10?

I also seem to have a fully housebroken windows 10. I know my PC has TPM, so it should be compatible with windows 11, but so far, it hasn't shit inside

I pirate a copy of Enterprise LTSC specifically to avoid bullshit like this.

Ohh that's a terrible thing to do, where would you go to do that so I stay far far away

Ye'd be digging yourselves a MASS GRAVE if ye did go there.

Blah blah blah

I always laugh at these comments. Edge is fantastic, same with 0365. But yeah libre is soooo much better.

I personally pretty much stopped using Word Editors, and wouldn't use a proprietary one if I did, but I recognise they're still pretty important for the majority of people.

I worked with a company that used O365 last year. Was kinda underwhelmed. Desktop Apps still don't really work well with simultaneous editing of a document, Web Apps don't have all the features of the desktop versions (didn't matter that much in Word, but was annoying in Excel).

I think that the online collaboration implementation of Google's Suite is still a lot more seamless. O365 Desktop and Web stuff feels like a weird attempt to mix two separate products.

For most use cases I've seen, you could probably give the user any modern office suite, whether it be proprietary or open source, and they wouldn't mind too much.

Independent of all privacy concerns, I personally just don't like Edge's UX, but I recognise that it's a serviceable Browser.

I don't think your experience is what most people experience. The vast majority of sharing issues is education on role and user based sharing.

If you understand the difference between a kink that works for everyone and the difference between a view only and edit permissions then it works just fine.

365 is helpful, but feature parity between app and web app is not perfect, and files done in web have compatibility issues when somebody opens on app version. Also have had issues on collaboration where somebody left their laptop open with autosave on, so all my changes and corrections kept getting overridden whenever their system autosaved. Terrible implementation.

I run the team that does MSP and cloud services for 1000 people. MS365 works mostly great. This community is somewhat mistaken what non technical, gamers and business users value.
