I just noticed a network folder that is named after my hotmail account. Nothing much in there for me, but looked like a place for personal app data.

Is it backing them up to a one drive account maybe?

Edge browser seems to have crapped out for me. Extensions aren't loading and pages are crashing. It's up to date and other browsers are working fine. Might just be me, I suppose.

Microsoft are pissing me right off these days. I had to send back my Surface Pro due to dead pixels and they replaced it with a refurb that's a piece of shit, keeps blue screening. I've had to send that back now too. Fuck knows what they'll send me next.

I actually like Windows 10 a lot. In general, it's been quite stable and unobtrusive.

Windows 10 is the best one by a mile.

I really like windows 10 but we have an old PC in work we use just as a label printer. Its still running Windows XP and its amazing how fast it is. Its not as pretty an OS and I'd be lost without the windows 10 search bar at this point but Windows XP kills it for just clicking through a load of files fast.

Having switched from acer to dell, I think there's also a level of variation with manufacturers as window 10 specifically. 

My acer seemed to just toss a coin every update, w10, nvidia, anything, and then pick something new to fuck up randomly.

The dell just seems to update fine.

So I now get MS employee store discount, which includes some friends and family stuff. There's some gaming jazz, but first party only, and it's largely covered by gamepass which I guess most folk already have? (Though eg Minecraft Windows isn't and tempts me cos rtx...).

But office stuff looks a better offering: £20 rather than $80 for a year sub family sub, including up to 6TB one drive as well as word/Excel etc. Finite number of invites, but a reasonable number, so ping me an email address if you want in and I'll do my best. (I think we also get $5 off, each, or something, so I'm obviously keen to max out my invitees )

Actually this also includes flight simulator at a good discount:
- standard is £60->£30
- Deluxe is £80->£44
- Premium is £110->£58

We had a scheme in work where we got Office for free. Only had to pay €15 P&P for an emailed code. Very strange way of doing it.

I can install on five devices for free through college but for some reason they tell us not to use OneDrive even though it's available.

Our work O365 is an enterprise subscription which lets us install it on 5 devices. The browser apps are getting pretty good too and will meet most folks' needs without the need for an install.

Well - OK ..  But for Word and Mail it's fine. I suppose Excel might be a bit clunky too. Haven't tried it in a while.

Before the Windows phone went kaput I trialled using it with a docking station. I was able to run windows 10 on it with trad browser full Office Suite installed applications while keeping my documents on OneDrive. The phone ran at the same temp as the core of the sun but it worked just fine.

Only thing I had to crack was corporate LAN access and print but that would have been sorted had it stayed around. A missed opportunity that.

There's a feature gap - maybe always. Depends what you are doing. My documents are always pretty basic in layout so its fine.

If I start working with stuff that has more in the way of layouts and diagrams then you still need the application but at a guess I'd say MS will have an aim to move all-in for browser at some point with no loss of fetaures. Could be some way off but never say never.
