Microsoft 365 is fucking garbage. I tried using it one time on my work computer and couldn’t even export an Excel sheet into any other format besides a PDF and an Excel file. The only two things I never need to export an Excel sheet as. I couldn’t even export it as a god damn text file. And the fact that I need an Internet connection makes it so much more finicky. I guess on the plus side when the Internet is down I don’t have to do my job until it comes back.

Were you on a free plan? Because csv export normally works fine.

If I remembered I’d have an answer. All I know is that I was specifically looking to export a csv and couldn’t find it. It was a new computer and they were like “just use 365” instead of installing Microsoft Office like every other computer. I ended up just installing LibreOffice until they got mad at me and installed Microsoft Office.

At that point please just use another OS. You should be keeping your OS up to date.

Yeah, we live in wild times. Remember when the largest computer outage was caused by that software attack?

Oh wait that was the program meant to protect from attacks.

Start menu is totally superfluous. Everything in the system can be accessed via a simple rightclick on the start button, skipping the menu altogether

And or it’s search function for applications when you don’t want a permanent search bar clogging up your taskbar because you like text labels in the taskbar ;)
