This feature doesn't even work.
So many times I'll save a word doc, attach it to outlook, and it'll silently attach an older version of the word doc.
Word says its up to date, one drive says its up to date, but outlook still gets an old version.
It takes hours to resolve. Everything Microsoft wastes so much of my time.
Meanwhile here I am with ghostwriter
I used nano for over 10y, I'm a nvimer now.
I just can't ever go back to office UI stuff. For my designs I still have Krita and Inkscape.
You can turn it off. Opt-out is still bullshit.
you can turn it off (for now)

Switched to linux. No regrets so far.
Of the installs I've done in the past year, none were absolutely flawless. One had an error that I just hit "retry" and it worked. One required some serious googling but I found the fix on reddit (rip). One didn't work at all, and I switched to a different distro that did work.
I'm not going to lie and sugarcoat it, but once I got past the install everything has been fine. Hopefully things will continue to improve
What if I'm using a pirated copy of windows and office?
