[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1850142, member: 190607"] I agree. For instance, I'm an attorney, and I have need of a high-end word processor, which I use all day, everyday. So, by and large I use Microsoft Word. Nothing else has the range of features that Microsoft Word has, and I make great use of many of those features. I've used Microsoft Word for about 33 years. It's the best tool for my job, and I won't cut off my nose to spite my face by settling for a cheaper, lesser product. (I do use FreeOffice on one of my laptops, as I don't do most of my writing on my laptop.) But understand that Microsoft is not your friend. They are not consumer-centric like Apple at least tries to appear to be. Microsoft developed Bing, for instance, not because they wanted to be nice and give us another free choice for Web searches, they developed Bing because Google was making a ton of money harvesting users' private information and aggregating it and selling it for advertising purposes. They saw it as low-hanging fruit. [url=https://www.quora.com/Is-Bing-better-than-Google-in-respect-to-privacy]Is Bing better than Google in respect to privacy? - Quora[/url] Given that there are other search engines available, and that some of them are as good or better than Bing, yet offer far superior security, I think that it's a good idea to use one of them instead of Google or Bing.
