No thanks, it takes excel 2-3 seconds to load a blank document, which pisses me off every time.

It's like 5 seconds for me to open a file from Outlook at work.
Absolute garbage.
Was already planning to switch to Linux but thanks for the deadline ✌️
I just realized. Windows 10 is being shelved but there is only one version ahead of it.
I remember xp still being considered good when i had win 8 installed.
How is that not understood as as a blatant attempt to maximize user control?
Actually looking at the numbers xp and 8.1 retired within 2 years of eachother. And 10 first got retired in 2020 a year before win 11 was released to make way of windows as a service updates which is actually what is getting retired later this year.
Microsoft kindly please get your shit together… or dont and strengthen my work requests to migrate systems to Linux.
Microsoft is a lot more aggressive with EoLing it's Windows versions now exactly because XP lived so long. It was an absolute pain for them to maintain and support that for so long and they've made very sure they don't repeat that experience.
So what's the news here? Win 10 support ends in october. Doesn't that automatically mean that they will also not support office apps running on Win 10 starting october?
losing money in the general population so gotta turn the screws on the businesses.
They have always categorized the 365 apps, and 365 software as 2 distinct platforms. The apps are the website based versions, while the actual 365 installs were still considered a traditional install.
This could have changed in the years I worked for them, but this could be just impacting the website versions.
Edit -Rereading the article, this does sound like all 365 software will be impacted since they used the word applications. Keep in mind though, any office prior to 2013 is officially incompatible with 10/11, but they still run in most cases without problems.
That is pretty rough, even for Micor$oft.
Holy shit, that's quick
There’s another reason to stay on 10!
