YOUR BROWSER SHOULD TELL YOU THAT THIS IS
AN UNSECURED SITE.
HOWEVER, SECURITY APPS HAVE FOUND THE SITE TO BE SAFE
SITE LAST UPDATED 10/17/24
Microsoft (MS) information on this
site is no longer updated as of 12/28/23, because MS has essentially
removed the 'P' from PC. Several of
the MS apps may no longer be usable, for the same reason.
Details:
MS now does everything "in the
cloud", but this takes many personal choices away from you
and prevents you from storing and
confining your
information on your
computer, so that it is
now viewable by everyone on the web.
So your information is not personal at all. Also, a major
inconvenience is that saving an
MSOffice file now requires transferring information over the internet
that depends in large part on the
speed of your internet connection. Thus fast computer speed does
not correspond to fast MSOffice
response. The bottom line is that MSOffice is
basically the
equivalent of the 1980's dumb
terminal talking to a mainframe computer.
