Silence! The great Microsoft has decreed that from this day forward your documents belong to them! No dissension!

I don't get it, does Microsoft WANT everyone to stop using their products? First they fuck up their OSes, then they start planting shady shit in their OSes, and now it's down to every single goddamned piece of software they poop out! What in the fuck are they even doing!

Munoz backs up the decision with half a dozen advantages for saving documents to the cloud. From never losing progress and access anywhere to easy collaboration and increased security and compliance.

Munoz kept out the little details where nobody wants this and this is only a good thing for Microsoft
