Windows users are like abuse victims at this point.

No news is good news.

Microsoft is doing an amazing job ~~keeping me off~~ selling windows 11!

Keep up the great work!

Guess it's time for Linux and for me to give up gaming :/

I switched to Linux last week and I haven't had any issues with my Steam games. Just had to turn on the setting to have Steam provide Linux support for games that don't provide it themselves.

I have to use Outlook for work. It is so annoying to have to avoid the one drive attachment option everytime I attach a file to an email. Nobody wants to be forced to deal with that crap.

Microsoft just seems to be trying various methods of shooting itself in the foot.

I guess maybe they really didn’t learn from the 80s/90s….

They're gambling that it won't be enough to drive the majority of users to other operating systems.

How do I get banned from OneDrive? Upload shit tons of garbage to clog their drives? I know they could probably add more space faster than I can upload but it would still make me happy to slowly feed them useless files that only take up space.

I got a new laptop at work and everything, every file I worked in, was creating a second copy of itself on OneDrive. It was so annoying and took awhile but I found instructions on deleting the duplicates.

It took all the files off my local machine and left the ones on OneDrive.

Aaaargh!
