A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.
I'm in school. The fact that I can no longer open and work with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint is killing me. I'm borrowing other computers and relying on my iPad to get work done. Unbelievable.

I tried this potential solution And I couldnt get it to work. The fact that Microsoft said it would provide a future solution when I can't even save a file right now is incredulous. I now have to save it in google docs and makes me rhink about using it more while evaluating to move my company off of Office.
Microsoft does not even acknowledge the fact that there is a problem. I would really like to see a news article about this issue. A NATIONAL new article. Why is a "large" company "allowed" to promote and sell a software that does not work. Many people depend of this product for their livelihood. So disappointing. In response to your post buy a Mac and avoid this issue as Microsoft seems to have no intention of solving it. Good luck. As an after thought here, I am going to contact each major news station and ask that they do a story on this.
I wonder if the IRS uses Microsoft software??? LOL Probably not.
Can you please let everyone know if your issues have been resolved? I see people are still having the same issues right up until the end of Dec 2015 (page 11 of this forum). Reading people's experiences on this forum has been horrifying. I will not upgrade to Windows 10 until I feel more confident bugs like this have been resolved and suggest others wait too. or buy a MAC.
