Whoever stole my copy of Microsoft Office I will find you.

We studied this in junior college: Computer Literacy (a required course)
using Microsoft Office and these days Windows 11 and One Drive. The
course covers Word, Excel, PowerPoint and a data base program called
Microsoft Access, a relational database management system (RDBMS).
Recent review of Windows 11:
"Let me start by saying Windows 11 is not bad at all. It is more of a
why do I need it? DonrCOt shot the Messenger. I base this on comments from
the 1,000 or so personal clients that I have been servicing for the past
20 years.
Many users are simply fed up Microsoft for many reasons." - Dana, Quora
Here are just a few that I have run into:
Fed up with Microsoft who originally said that Windows 10 would be the
last new version and then came out with Windows 11.
2. Angry with Microsoft because Windows 11 eliminated many perfectly
good computers from being able to be upgraded. I have had many clients
that had computers that they purchased as little as 3 or 4 years ago and
they were not able to be upgraded simply because their specific computer happened to have the wrong CPU.
3. Upset with Microsoft over the way OneDrive has taken over their
computers and in some cases completely messed up their computer.
4. Tired of Microsoft in general over pushing Subscriptions to Microsoft Office. Many people simply do not want to add another monthy or yearly subscription.
5. Some users are pissed at Microsoft for closing their Microsoft
Stores. I have some clients that decided to purchase a Microsoft Surface simply because they felt that there was a store to go to and did not
have to go to Staples or BestBuy to purchase and get support. They then decided to closed their stores.
6. Some clients purchased the rather expensive Microsoft Surface
computers and then found that Microsoft had followed Apples logic of
building computers that cannot be upgraded or repaired.
7. Finally the biggest complaint is why should I have to upgrade, my
current computer is perfectly fine and does absolutely everything I
need. There is really no good reason to upgrade except Microsoft is
making me. It is not like there is anything NEW in Windows 11 that the majority of users need or want.
