In a perfect world, that would be fine. But, as a consumer who has bought that product, I would strongly object to that. I can only imagine the thousands of businesses that that would sue MS, as well.
One can only guess at how a patch would affect us. LOL
The world of users has created, probably, billions of documents using those features, and without them, we wouldn’t be able to read those documents properly. Nor would they interact with the myriad of other documents we’ve created that allow need those features to operate as advertised. A whole new category of error messages would, in all likelihood, appear. hahaha
MS dug this hole and put their customers in this position. MS should be responsible for their error and the damages that their errors cause.
