> What is Microsoft suppsed to represent? unreliable software combined with abus...

I've never been able to find a better office suite. The FOSS alternatives and the google suite just don't do it for me.

I also switched back to Windows over Linux as my primary desktop environment.

Am I a victim of abuse?

(Mind you I don't pay for either)

It isn't that Office is abusive or Windows is abusive, it's that Microsoft is.

Word '97 is still my favorite word processor ever. Windows 7 is one of my favorite operating systems. I don't think they're abusive.

What's abusive is how slow Office 365 is. What's abusive is how updates reset all my settings trying to make Office 365 bearable (don't use cloud, save to computer by default, don't show backstage, etc.). What's abusive is FORCING me to combine taskbar buttons on Windows 11. What's abusive (and unreliable) is randomly selecting the whole filename while I'm editing it when the file is on OneDrive.

And that's just the tip of the ice berg.
