Some German state:
>Microshit is ze bad
Wink wink, send us ze shekels Microshit if you want to change our minds. Remember that German city that switched to Rinux for a few years then switched back after Microshit pumped a huge load of shekels into them.
>>4930 Germans once again proving they don't want to be whores unless you give them enough money to keep whoring. They are huns, mongols and tatars, but they at least took the money, bought horses, jewels and got drunk, then wanted money to do the same, germans use all the money to spread cancer.
New reports bellow. They prefer to pay for a company to review the privacy risks and send reports to microsoft than just switching to LibreOffice. Is it that difficult? LibreOffice has compatibility with .doc files and you can set to export in this format by default. It has most (if not all) the features of Word/PowerPoint (the Excel might be lacking a bit). It does not collect data and is open source (meaning they would reduce costs from licenses). There must be some lobbying from Microsoft in it...
>On behalf of the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security, Privacy Company has investigated the privacy risks related to the use of Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise, Office 365 ProPlus and Office Online
>Microsoft systematically collects data on a large scale about the individual use of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. Covertly, without informing people. Microsoft does not offer any choice with regard to the amount of data, or possibility to switch off the collection, or ability to see what data are collected, because the data stream is encoded.
>Microsoft has explained that 23.000 to 25.000 types of events are sent to Microsoft***s servers, and that 20 to 30 engineer teams work with these data.
