I haven't used Windows nor Office for so long I have no idea what half of those icons are for. Word stopped being great around 2007 when the ribbon was introduced. Before then, it had an amazing UI, the right amount of features and allowed you to do your work. N? T? Turquoise P?
Now, wow. It blows my mind people put up with all that.
Lucky you, you don't have to deal with the fucking T.
Today's T was me, a customer and what appeared to be some sort of wizard who has spent the last week on his hands and knees in a forest looking for mushrooms.
He apologised for being late, gave no information to the work he was supposed to be doing, was even more vague on timescales on something that is charitably a few hours work, and when asked a question just stared at his wall and went "hmmm".
In the end I just went "right, good call everyone" and hung up.
The web version is unbelievably shit.
I've watched a millennial uni student dick about with his laptop trying to find where tf his files are, not knowing the difference between the cloud and his local computer. University level.
I think all web software is unbelievably shit. The web is for porn, not software.

A fellow fan of office 2003! The ribbon was a terrible change and it has only gone downhill from there.
MS used to be at the forefront of UI, but now? You may be interested in: https://github.com/pi0/clippyjs
Oh man, that really brings back some memories.
