Just like Microsoft office users, stop buying office and just download LibreOffice.
And it’s good to know that Thunderbird will never force you to open email links inside of a specific browser.
It will do what every other operating system and program in the entire universe does and open a link in your default browser the way Outlook doesn’t anymore without a special setting in the config panel.

Yep. And if I were in charge of my company we would be dumping every Microsoft product right the fuck now because of it. However I’ve still got to wait for one more person to get tired of working here and to quit and then I will be the IT director and we can kick Microsoft to the curb.
Although realistically the people that actually own the company won’t let me do that but you know I can dream right?
I love the deer-in-headlight look of non-essential IT staff like yourself after money folks bring me in as a consultant. Scared of deploying registry changes? Don’t understand how to manage expectations? Haven’t kept up with changes? Not a problem.
If your consulting skills are on par with your reading comprehension skills I am not afraid in the slightest.
Just to clarify, there is the IT director and then there’s me and then there’s all of the other it employees in the entire company (about 50 people).
And we don’t hire jackass consultants who barely managed to get their GED and had to be dragged out of their mother’s basement to show up and make fun of us.
We actually laugh when your sales people call us thinking that they’re going to make a quick buck doing some bullshit work that we’ve already got under control.
Interesting. Do you throw a tantrum over everything? Or just stuff that you don’t understand?
Do you just seek out strangers on the internet to cause of being redundant validate your own fragile self worth?
I’m confused about that middle part there. I get the idea though.
I haven’t used LibreOffice for about 5 years, but my experience 5 years ago was that MSOffice was a better program. PowerPoint’s auto design wizard alone has saved me dozens of hours making presentations.
I want libre to as good or better, but it just isn’t there.
It has come a long way in those 5 years.
I find it does the job, however I barely use office programs to begin with.
I’d also prefer to use LibreOffice, but I use SharePoint, PowerAutomate and connect to DataBricks on Azure for example. There are just so many things LibreOffice can’t do (not the devs fault). I think people are not aware of the current features of Microsoft Office and wind up comparing LibreOffice in 2023 to Microsoft Office 2003.
I think that might be our difference. I use office programs all of the time. I dislike several things about office, formatting is tedious and difficult, combining multiple files isn’t the best, features that used to exist get rolled back and are more difficult to use to name a few. There are programs that do single aspects of office a whole lot better, like LaTeX, but they don’t really replace office.
I’d like to break free from MS, but unless something really innovative comes out I don’t see it being better for me.
