SAAS (software as a service) has arrived. I'm not impressed. If anybody know anything about pricing, please post it along with a link.

Does it have a feature that sends your files to the NSA for proof reading? /s

Switched to Linux. Never going back. 365 can pound sand with their $100 per year fee.

“SAAS (software as a service) has arrived. I’m not impressed.”
It’s been here since 2015. And it works.
What’s new here is the user interface, which is any browser. And the tacit admission of MS that they cannot control the end device.
Millions will opt for this.

I like buying and owning my software. I don’t need monthly draining charges and I don’t need continuous billing hassles.

Could really be helpful with onboarding and temporary employees/contractors.

All your data storage is not stored at FBI headquarters in D.C., but on wispy cloud, floating safely and securely way up in the atmosphere.

SAAS (software as a service) has arrived. The mainframe is back, with a new name. Does anyone remember the client server holy war? All the software processing was to be done on the client desktop.

And think just how easy it will be to monitor and cancel you! One moment you are working away, the next, you are locked out of all software and your data is gone, and you are permanently disconnected from all computing, forever.

How wonderful...
Now we don’t have to worry about mistakenly writing something patriotic, pro-guns, or anti mooslem...
Microsoft will watch and protect...

Big deal we were doing much the same at work a decade or more ago.
It was all internal and used windows servers for ESRI apps etc. Browser etc all right there. I was the lucky admin for that server and more.

I back up everything in the cloud anyway.
If you’re gonna get hacked - what difference does it make if they hack your hard drive or your cloud?
And if/when your PC crashes or your lose your phone - you still have data on an operating system
