Installing the free 30 day trial of Microsoft Office, the company gently reminds me several times why I don't like it.
it starts by freezing up the OS with this weird black and white beach ball that I've literally never seen before
then it obstinately demands that I close EVERYTHING I have running so it can have some peace; hubristically thinking itself more important than almost all other Apps
and not content with its achievements so far it presumptuously vomits half a dozen Apps straight into my dock, thinking I like it enough to want it splayed all across my nicely organised desktop
No, Microsoft, these examples may be excusable but I take them as indications of how the company likes its products: obtrusive, demanding, and self-important.
I must say this post sounds troll-y in tone but the content is quite accurate, it represents my sentiments, and I'm not shouting to cause controversy, merely to express my opinions...
p.s. and then, despite having downloaded the newest version from the website, it immediately demands an update and I go through the entire process all over again.
