Deer Microsoft, expect lawyers soon. This #### doesn't fly.

I use Chrome. Have for years. All of a sudden, Microsoft has FORCED links to secure documents on office360.com to be opened with Edge. There is no work around. Links to anything, like the annoying scams, or the legit emails like the one I just recieved, are now routed through Microsoft Edge as the browser.
I dunno, maybe they're doing this to address the mess their cloud services are, as it's polluted with scammers.
Oh well.

Dude, it's pretty well-known that threats of lawsuits don't work

threats of violence, especially against a target's family, are MUCH more effective

Is this your "work" office360 or your personnal software?

For my personal computers I absolutely abhor the "subscription cloud" software model where you are essentially renting software on a monthly/yearly basis. Yeah - I know that by using the cloud computing model you will always have the most up to date "gee whiz" capability but cloud computing almost always comes with some heavy strings attached by the software developer.
I don't like renting software so I bought and installed Office21 Pro on all my personal computers to avoid that Office360 subscription cloud mess. I may not have the "latest gee whiz" tool of Office360 but my personal needs for Word, Powerpoint, and Excel haven't really changed since Office XP...

I got it too... LibreOffice is good stuff!

I like a lot of the search features in LibreOffice (does REGEX searches very well) and is a great alternative to MS Office. Just wish it had a comparable email/calendar program to Outlook...

Years ago, Microsoft had what they called MFC or

Microsoft Foundation Class, which was a bunch of standards that anyone writing apps for Windows platforms had to go buy for their stuff to work.
AFTER they got sued and for monopoly stuff by Netscape, they had to change their MFC API call to be browser neutral; basically to only use as the OS default choice as the default browser to use from the API call out.
They can't even seem to follow their own programming guidelines.

I'm still fighting with AT&T for two phone numbers from their legacy

landline system. I can not port them to wireless, so I'm told. Stuck with having to forward lines.
AT&T was sued over this, and in my case, still today, they're non-compliant with the terms of that lawsuit. I have threatened legal action as this has cost us thousands. If I don't pay AT&T to at least forward those numbers, then I can't have them dial directly otherwise.
