Why microsoft sucks




















It's marketed to people quite unaware of what's involved in using computers as if it were suited for them, but it's not. It's a major irritation to use its based on illogical methodology, and unexplained principles , and its extremely vulnerable to accident, misadventure, and abuse. It's inexcusably unreliable think of the millions that they earn from it—they can afford to do a better job, but don't. It imposes unreasonable conditions on you yet accepts no responsibilities upon themselves go on, read the various EULAs.

It sets out to subjugate everyone the foisting of new proprietary, incompatible, often broken or terribly flawed, techniques for doing things into an environment that had well-established, reliable, widely-compatible techniques.

And costs far too much for what it is not just that it's expensive, it's poor value for money. Even when you don't use it, the actions of other people using it impacts on you negatively the hoards of spam zombies, the technically illiterate who think that everyone else's computer works exactly the same as theirs does, the services that you want to use that insist on you using some particular Microsoft software, etc.

If you write webpages, it can really make you grind your teeth. All the good things that you'd like to be able to do, it still doesn't support, even after the competition has been doing it for years transparent PNG image files [ PNGs were developed circa ], quite a lot of CSS [circa ] used to style webpages, even HTML [circa ] used to write webpages, etc.

Microsoft Word has become a ubiquitous word processor. It is often assumed that Word will be the medium to type, or at the least, submit assignments, which makes the wretched interface simply unavoidable.

Call me a boomer or blame the user all you want, but Microsoft Word sucks! I have been alive long enough to remember using Microsoft Word Word is an annoying word processor that has run its reign of terror for long enough.

If your document requires anything more than the most basic formatting, you have likely experienced the rage-inducing rigidity of Microsoft Word. I am trying to format a resume with a table because apparently templates are highly frowned upon. This resulted in an extra blank page at the end of my document that refused to be deleted.

Because Word inserts space for a new paragraph automatically. This is not a democracy. I had to switch my font size down to one point to remove it. Good luck inserting images into a word document. Text and images are like oil and water on Word. Inserting a picture results in a formatting chasm between text and image. One slight movement or size change and every carefully placed item is skewed into oblivion. Trust me, Microsoft. Creativity and Word do not mix.

Want to write a poem? Windows XP. Excel -As a stand-alone software product this is likely the most irreplaceable one I can think of in terms of productivity and scalability. Using formulas and references in Excel played an important role in how I taught myself to code. And if you have ever had the misfortune of using any other spreadsheet program you will know how superior Excel is over any other application like it. Open Platform - It's hard for regular people to imagine how different the internet and computing landscape would be if Microsoft had not made Windows an open platform.

I can imagine that there would be have been a bureaucratic labyrinth of policies and standards that one would have had to navigate to be part of the club. The fee would have been small at first, then grow larger, and finally become an annual "subscription" similar to what developers pay to publish IOS apps for iPhone and iPad. Subscription Model - Immediately following my praise for Microsoft making Windows open platform, they are starting to act a bit more like Apple these days.

I don't need to get into detail here, just look at Office and the aggressive push to Windows 10 Forced updates.
