Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 day agoIt was removed from the MacOS version, yes. I’ve been using Microsoft Word since 2004.
I haven’t seen any evidence of it ever working outside of OneDrive. I’ve been using Word since it came out.
Yes, they added a feature for paying customers. That’s not “bizarre and shitty”. That’s pretty much the industry standard. Paying users get more and better features.
Microsoft is a despicable company whose board of directors should be guillotined.
Ok well you’re clearly not to be taken seriously on issues like this.

So to be clear, your claim is that Word never saved your file automatically every few minutes? Are you suuuuuuure?

I have had a paid Office subscription and used OneDrive since it was SkyDrive, so I honestly couldn’t tell you from personal experience - which is why I’m using google and also asking any and all AIs I have access to. I have found zero evidence of AutoSave being added and working with local save files. AutoRecover yes, AutoSave no.
I’m happy to be proven wrong though, so feel free to provide some links showing that it did.

You just spend pages defending Microsoft for having no autosave feature on a word processor. Maybe time to re-evaluate.

Do you not see the irony in that?
You just spent pages attacking Microsoft for allegedly removing something that never existed. Maybe it’s time for you to re-evaluate.
