You STILL believe that a decades old word processing app would let you type for hours without periodically saving your work? Are you actually insane?

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

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

It was removed from the MacOS version, yes. I’ve been using Microsoft Word since 2004.

I was using it for years and they literally have an autosave feature on iOS right now. You can stop typing and force-close the app and it’ll save it to your iCloud (not OneDrive) flawlessly.

I’m a professional writer who uses Word (out of habit). Let me assure you that it’s true. Autosave does not work on local storage or iCloud — only Microsoft OneDrive.

Microsoft Word literally removed the ability to autosave. Your document is no longer automatically saved as you type, unless you pay for cloud backup. This would be hilarious if it weren’t so unbelievably dumb.

We can agree to disagree. Office, for instance, is pure trash.

Weird, it’s been at least a decade since I encountered a Microsoft product that wasn’t actively getting worse.

The problem with companies like Microsoft is that they’re rotten to the core. They don’t innovate anymore. They don’t make anything useful. If you make them more efficient, they’ll just suck ass more efficiently.

He sounds reasonable to me.

That’s the fun part: they were never ancaps at all! Even that incorrect conclusion would have required reading and curiosity.
