Ok, so you don’t run Windows and, at the rate they’re going and where they’re taking it, you don’t intend to. And as the years go by, it still shows no sign of changing. Good song, but damn, is it fitting for what Microsoft does or what. It’s like they say “bend over!” and everyone just does it.īÃ¼ck Dich by Rammstein should be Microsoft’s official theme song of the 2000s. I don’t know how a company can stay in business for so long pulling this shit off.

Of course, speaking of that above-mentioned turd, Microsoft has to convert me back to Windows before they can even get me to touch Office 13… but at this rate, hell will freeze over before I buy another license to use Windows. And that is to say nothing of the new turd out of Redmond whose name ends with the number 8 (and no, not 98… that one was actually decent in comparison). After all these years having never owned a license to Microsoft Office, I don’t see that changing any time soon, even as 2012 reaches its end. The artificial limitations and inflated costs between Windows and Office honestly make it seem like they’re trying *not* to sell their software. A brief time playing with the demo was all I got, and it will be all I even bother with. I have been an Abiword, Gnumeric, and more recently a LibreOffice user for many years, and although I do like the ribbon interface, Microsoft is giving me no good reason to switch to Office myself. Microsoft must think we all shit money or something. That’s one hell of a premium to have to pay just for a copy of Access. Just for one thing that I might want–a database program–I would have to pay for a bunch of other useless garbage. The personal information manager, the publishing application, and all the other crap in the package… shove all of that up there too. That presentation program? Shove it up your ass. I want a word processor, a spreadsheet program, and a database program. Or in this case, the absolute most highest price, biggest rip-off version. **counting multiple users on the same PC/Mac as 1 userAs is typical with recent versions of Windows and Office the artificial limitations and inflated costs just to get one itty-bitty little feature that happens to only be on the next-highest-price version.

This can be particularly irritating when looking at something that would normally fit the height of your screen but is pushed off the bottom by the extra strip added at the top. Unfortunately Microsoft are very keen on you making the most of your subscription and upgrading your Office 365 as soon as possible, so they provide an annoying and unwanted bar across the top of every application which you have either to ignore or to close every time you open something if you don't want to upgrade.

An automatic upgrade is also unwelcome if you are someone providing IT support as it is often helpful to be able to keep your own installation of Office at the same version as your clients'. a mixture of Office 2013 and Office 2016. This is particularly true with users of Access where you will find that many systems do not work when shared across a pool of users with difference versions of Office - e.g. In the business world it is often not a good thing to have users upgrading to the latest version spontaneously.

You can't use Access this way, and the versions are not the full versions, but they may be sufficient for you.
