Vista was supremely terrible.
I recently upgraded my Office suite from version 2007 to 2016. Was running out of room in my email database, and archiving them doesn’t help much. I hate that it has its own navigation panes. Used to be if you wanted to save a document, you’d get a Windows window pop-up. Familiar and easy to copy and paste a directory. Now, it has all kinds of buttons and you have to physically navigate to the folder you want to save it to. And the toolbar ribbon moved a bunch of stuff around. For sending emails, used to be if you replied it would open the reply in a new window. Now it’s inside the reading pane, so you can’t easily look at another email while composing a fresh one. There is a way, it’s just not obvious and requires additional steps. Truly unintuitive, imo, especially for people who upgraded from previous versions.
Maybe there is a way to change the settings, I haven’t explored a lot. Just installed last week.
I have a Windows 10 Microsoft book. For the most part I like the tablet, it replaced an older laptop. But I installed a “skin” that allows it to appear and function like it was Windows 7.
And FWIW, I won’t buy their subscription online services. If they force me to use the cloud or the internet to write documents and create spreadsheets, I’ll move to some other software. Hopefully Office 2016 will endure as long as office 2007 did.
Vista was counter-intuitive to any previous windows release.
#7 You should uninstall Onedrive so you can save your files to where you want without Onedrive intercepting them.
Office 365 records everything. I have Office 2016 on my home pc and do not sign into a Outlook account. I have one for work and they use Office 365 / Microsoft 365 yet I find on my Office 2016 on my home pc, links back to my work docs and my profile image I use. I find that I am signed into say Word with my work id which I never did. I sign out but it will sign me in again later on.
I also see my profile image from Outlook at Amazon!! and I am signed in there as I order all the time from them. Companies are linked together to follow you around the internet and using software on your pc to do so other then just a web browser.
Your iPhone and android devices listen (SPY) on what you are saying and deliver ads that only you see be it on the phone or tablet or the tv set if you sign in say using a samsung or roku etc account.
