Why not buy this[^] instead? It claims to be fully compatible with the Office formats, and the price can't be beaten!

It’s a shame there was no social media when Microsoft launched Windows 95 on August 24, 1995. The last time people cared about a Windows launch

Microsoft announced its Windows Update for Business plan a couple months ahead of the Windows 10 launch. So what and where is it? An update

Leaving no stone unturned, Microsoft recently spoke up about its poop emoji. You're on your own for a joke here, I'm too busy giggling

You can giggle in one hand and poop in the other; then see which one fills up first!

Once upon a time, we were awestruck by the “solo climber”, the programmer who could single-handedly write a magnum opus on a barebones machine such as the Apple ][ with its 64 kilobytes of memory, and 8-bit processor running at 1MHz. On the down side, you can't blame bugs on anyone else

The changes with Visual Studio 2015 and .NET Core 5, aka vNext, have churned up quite a bit of conversation. Cheese moved, mice complain

Quote: As a result some enterprise developers will be faced with tough choices. Those choices are to adopt new processes, learn and bring it safely and securely to their enterprise, or resist and hold on to what will eventually be legacy software.
He skips over other, obvious choices such as continue with existing tools that work fine and can be used to create anything that is needed.

Article says: “Any change is anti-enterprise.”
So true.
Giants cannot be bothered about the business of gnats.
Then the gnats clog up the Giant's eyes. Agh! Giant can't see where he is going. Steps off cloud and plummets to earth.

The last paragraph reads:
Quote: Spend less time worrying about who Microsoft hates or what language or framework is declared dead this week. Instead, embrace progress, engage in active self-improvement and education. Be the person who abandons the old way of thinking, be more productive, be cross platform, be open source. If you do, you’ll find yourself armed with a unique set of skills, ready to solve the problems of tomorrow instead of idly working on problems from the past.
That pretty-well sums up my thoughts.

Microsoft and other tool developers want the median salary for developers to decrease so they can increase their own profits. They do not want a population of highly-skilled developers who can think for themselves.
