I'm done with MS myself, but at the same time I like to be conscious that news sites are milking the sentiment of frustrated users by constantly rephrasing "MS said they are going to be improve X" into "MS admits that X is bad".
Old school MS would just add some seconds delay to the Mac version.
I want to have to book an appointment every time I want to use a Microsoft product.
Great! I'll just fire up Outlook to put that into my cale oh no

I worked with some former Microsoft people. It was ridiculous. So much drama. They were constantly pushing initiatives that made no sense. They cared more about their weird culture than they did about making great products. I think that Ballmer broke Microsoft. His endless stacked-ranking made people focus on corporate politics and resume padding over quality.
Jokes on you i'm still running word 2007

Whole damned office suite including visio
Give me Frontpage or give me death!
Knowing Microslop™, they'll fix it by loading every document on your computer into memory at boot and call it "Quick Launch"
True Microslop™ behaviour would be to only do this for documents in OneDrive, then tell users to store all documents there for "improved performance"
That just sent a weird shiver down my spine.
Gotta load that sweet telemetry
And worse, they don’t even care.
Microsoft's excuse: 🖕
So... don't use it?
Oh but they do- their excuse is incompetence! They have so much excuse. And by excuse I mean they have so much incompence 😀
