'Microsoft updatet kantoordienst Office na privacyklacht Nederlandse overheid' (nu.nl)

uhs: Het ministerie van Justitie en Veiligheid concludeerde in november dat het gebruik van het Microsoft-product een risico vormde, omdat gebruikers geen controle hebben over welke diagnostische gegevens naar de Verenigde Staten worden gestuurd.

Straks komt er voor april iets anders mbt risico opborrelen.

Onder Microsoft Office ProPlus vallen meerdere kantoordiensten, zoals tekstverwerker Word, spreadsheetbewerker Excel, presentatiebewerker PowerPoint en e-maildienst Outlook.

"In de komende weken ondernemen we aanvullende stappen om het voor klanten duidelijker te maken welke data naar Microsoft gaan en waarom, en waar het delen van gegevens optioneel is", zegt Microsoft-topvrouw Julie Brill tegen Politico.


Tegen de tijd dat ze er iet s tegen doen is het al veel te laat , mijn mening is dat soort programma's niet te gebruiken

Word: libre office en of openoffice (or any ASCII or and HTML and or PDF)
Excel: long time ago Dbase then Quattro, i never used Excell again HTML tables.
PowerPoint: again HTML
e-maildienst Outlook: Netscape but it was stoped then Fiirefox and Eudora used the code and went different ways so for email i kept using Netscape 7.x the last version ever created for years Until one of the original creators picked up the code again and create a Seamonkey project.

make a backup of all stuff and install Seamionkey then insert the oriiginal Email datebase because the crreators say Why changhe somlething that works ? Wauw i dont even have to convert the database or any of the cookies or bookmarts of filters ? It All works ? NICE...

so what about text, spreadsheats sorting data ? well over time i created my own HTML gennerators and i use them for a number of things.. bugt in such a way that the build in WYSIWYG in Seamonkey or Netscape have no trouble to edit and save them, Basic HTML
So what OS or what device does that work on ? Any i ever tried.

So how do you convert TXT and then you have ASCII ANSI UTF Unicode ...
you did not create code to read and write any of them from the ground up ? No i did not , that's just a small part of .. yeah well i see data ? tthat look a lot lioke HEX or binarie So ?
what about email data ? well i wrote a mailer a long time ago: BASE64 ?

They sure come up with any nulber or ways tio store data and What the point ?

i spoend a whole lot of time azznd effort to type this or that into thios or that box, then Some program puts THAT into somle data format or the other and now All of a sudden I'm forced to use their software and cannot GET that data I OWN and use it in any way i see fit ?

So do i put any data I own into any such program ? NO
either i can automate and got One way and do not care weather or not it goes the other way Or i do not use the program.

Excel ? who was it who said: you have a CSV short for "Comma Sepperated Value"
them in those values you allow comma's and that was before they started using 16 ; 32 and even 64 bit values.

So how many caracters are in a unicode font and has anybody ever created a comple set ?
I do not know simsum ext-b is one of the best but it has big gaps, How do you know that ?
one of the things a 10 system can do ? flush all of them in a console screen page after page after page.
