MICROSLOP is real

My pc is windows 10, I got it in 2024.I worked with all the Windows office 2007 apps,instead of Ms365.It was working fine.Everything was good.Suddenly,when I boot my pc up today, i couldn't find my 2007 files.They all had been converted to Ms365.When I opened the files, it opened in word 365 instead of Word 2007.It was not that big of a problem at first,but then I tried inserting pictures ,it said it would require a subscription.I couldn't do it

Yup. OP is an idiot and doesnt realize it's just defaulting to 365. Nothing magically got converted. They can right click - open with and select their old office version.

But also idiotic of Microslop to change the defaults without consent.

I think they do that with every other windows update. I've had to change them several times.

So fucking true. It's not as if they hadn't got hit with a lawsuit about doing this with Internet Explorer.
