Funny you mention Windows and Office. Office is getting worse while moving to a subscription model, while Windows is getting worse by moving towards ads.

That hasn't been my experience. Windows 11 has more features any any version before it, and same goes for Office.

Support for Android apps sounds nice, but you can't even reposition the taskbar anymore.

More features is not a great indicator of quality.

Funny, I wasn't thinking the same when I installed the Old Classic Calc[ulator].

How can you f* up a simple calculator on a very complex one?

Although TBF office and windows have gotten worse with every version at least since the 1990s.

Yeah Excel 3.0 had much better cloud multi-user editing support. It really only went downhill after Excel 5.0 came out with this whole VBA nonsense in '93. Unnecessary bloat, really just showcasing the fact Microst doesn't know what it's users actually want.

Excel today is way better than the Excel I used in the 90s. I wouldn't trade it for a moment.

They ruined office with … removing Excel’s 64k row limit, better file format, collaborative editing and better data analysis functions?
