Microsoft can’t code anymore

As others wrote it just crashes with no warning. Maybe if you get rid of more of your employees you can completely decimate these apps and we can find some other company with productivity apps that cares about their customers.

How to connect to vianet

How the heck do you retrieve your stuff saved on the Chinese vianet Microsoft version?

It’s alright

I like that I can access the same notebook on all my devices and the layout of my pages do not change and the interface doesn’t change much either. I wish it had an audio recording feature that let you write while it’s recording at the very least, because currently u can only record or write not do both.
