    Every second day some element of the Office 365 offering is BROKEN.

    A cloud con.

    Often when i download Netflix stuff, and try to view a movie 'in the air' (on aircraft with no WiFi internet) the app complains that it can't connect. Notwithstanding the fact that I have downloaded the entire video and it works on the ground.

    I pay almost a grand a year for Adobe Creative Cloud - similar problems (though not as bad as MS) using the service.

    Cloud fraud.... cloud ripoff... The useless EU does nothing to fix these monopolies and their dirty tricks. All the EU bots can think of is dumb GDPR, which forces one to click three or four times on popups to 'agree' to thousands of pages of legal stuff, which one does not have the time to do, for every website one might visit.

    While I am an European, I can sympathise with the Brexiteers in a big way.

    The EU is seriously broken. EU regulations introduced over the past ten years have decimated the quality of life and economic growth in the so called 'union'. I can only suspect that any data I have ends up in 'the cloud' (as well as perhaps on a local data storage device), whether or not I wish cloud copying, while using these products.

    I make the time to click on the cookie things and turn them off - they've nothing to do with GDPR by the way.

    I also have a Microsoft Office 365 subscription, and have the use of one at work. Both are rock solid.

    Where is the monopoly? If you don't like O365, go to another provider. There are many.
