But where do I put the floppy disk?

I remember back before MS-DOS, when I kept my Wang by my secretary’s desk and she handled my 8” floppies.

What I did was get a USB floppy drive.

I’m a fairly heavy Win 10 user across multiple devices, and I don’t recognize or use any of those features that are being deprecated here.

Btw, Win 10 and Office 365 have been brilliant for me and my company. No issues whatsoever and cross-device syncing and sharing is fantastic.

My company has been deploying Win10 to the Windows-based engineering folks (workstations) for about a year with overall good results. We just recently migrated from in-house on-site mail, chat, etc. to Office 365. That’s been a bumpy ride but we’ll make it.

The difficult part is that half our engineers use Linux for their workstations, and about 10% use Macs, and Office 365 doesn’t have a native Linux client for Teams, Outlook, etc. so they’re forced to use the web clients which are (*cough*) not quite ready for prime time (*cough*), compatibility-wise.

But again, we’ll make it.

Shops that are 100% Microsoft have a much easier time going from on-site/in-house to Office 365 cloud functionality.

Only one I see myself using is (the hidden) System Image Backup, but since it may no longer be able to restore the system, then it is no longer viable it seems.

Thank God for good Freeware. Imagine what MS would eliminate if it was in charge of that.
