This is very confusing branding (again)
Remember, this is the same company that decided to name the third Xbox "Xbox One".

@masonwheeler I see, ME is the black history so shouldn't appear here. :P

@cheong Oh yeah, forgot about that one, since it was so obscure...

I believe we managed to stay polite while the guy was in the room
There's your problem. While it's usually necessary to use a cluebat on the users, every once in a while the users need to grab the cluebat and smack an admin with it.

Apparently NT was also obscure?

Never heard of MS Teams
Basically it's renamed "Skype for Business".
Skype for Business has a completely different UI and also doesn't make @apapadimoulis's laptop fan run like a jet engine constantly.

Windows Me is the Star Trek V of the series. It is so bad it shouldn't even be considered canon. If Microsoft could do it, they could retcon it so Windows Me was all a fever dream and never happened.

I think I'll give Google Doc a try for my daily document stuff
grr, this is kind of frustrating. It's all just slightly feeling not right, and there's some limitations I'm hitting.
that's because it is written in Javascript so there's some things we can't do
Oh well, I gave it a try. Back to
HAHAHAHA YU DUMB FUCK WE REWRITE IT ALL IN JAVASCRIPT AND NOW THE BASICS WORK!
But what about {list of all the things Word does that other processors don't explicitly because the others are using javascript}?

I just realized that acronym for Xbox One X is XBOX.

Actually there were 3.1 and 3.11.
Much like for DOS we have 6.0, 6.2, 6.21 and 6.22

I have OneDrive account so can work with Word Online. The thing just cannot copy and paste table cell with content in the same document correctly.

I liked Star Trek V.
And even if you didn't like it (you're crazy; it's entertaining as shit) you have to admit the line "uh, excuse me? What would God need with a spaceship?" is amazing.
-
I unsarcastically liked Windows ME.
(as already mentioned in the Unpopular Opinions thread)

1 -> 2 -> 2.1 -> 3 -> 3.1 -> 95 -> 98 -> ME -\ NT 3.1 -> NT 3.5 -> NT 3.51 -> NT 4.0 -> 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 8.1 -> 10
Based off which versions Wikipedia think are notable enough to warrant their own pages.

No, I did too.

I think we just revoked his (physical!) access rights to the building, and took our budgets and bought a different product. (While what we ended up using, LabArchives, might not be perfect — what realistic product is? — they are definitely very good and was a popular choice with end users.) The key thing is that we had control over the money and could tell IT where to go.
The politics between that project and the university were weird. The very senior parts were extremely keen on us, but IT hated us for showing up just how crap they were. I much prefer my current project; that never needed nearly so much input from IT in the first place (apart from our own substantial internal subnet with space for a couple of thousand IP addresses, none of which could be virtualised away and all of which needed to be routable to from the university general net).

I quite agree; it is. However, I've never found shit as entertaining as you apparently do. That's ok; we all have our little
kinksquirks.
-
@gąska said in MS Office being rewritten in JavaScript?:
@luhmann am I the only one here who used Windows 3.1?
I think I did, briefly, just before 3.11 came out. It was so long ago, though, it's hard to remember.
-
@gąska said in MS Office being rewritten in JavaScript?:

I used 3.1 a fair bit; my college never upgraded to 3.11 because we had Netware and that did everything we needed in the networking space (that wasn't handled initially by really awful Coloured Book networking that I don't want to remember because IP-based network stacks worked so much better).
-
@gąska said in MS Office being rewritten in JavaScript?:
@luhmann am I the only one here who used Windows 3.1?
I started on 3.0.
-
@blakeyrat said in MS Office being rewritten in JavaScript?:
Yes; in fact it's obvious. But there's an important point you're missing: Office 365 is not Office. They're two different products. Office 365 is the online component.
No, Office 365 is the subscription version of Office which includes online access and mobile and desktop versions of office.

@blakeyrat for now.

Of course "for now". Everything is for now and subject to sometimes surprising changes.

@rhywden especially in IT. Especially if it's about Javascript.
