I threw Office in the bin years ago and moved to LibreOffice instead. It's not perfect, or even close, but at least I don't have to pay for it every bloody day ... MS: stick your subscription model right where the sun doesn't shine. And I don't mean Wales.

I found Office 2019 as a one off purchase, no upgrade, no subscription. I also got sick of paying for it every year.
It is still a feature rich bloated suite.

yes, but like all ms products it is feature rich bloated.
think of all those features that you may one day need to use maybe once a decade though usually less
... ms have put a lot of research and effort into these, how would they have time to do fix mundane stuff.
saw in the daily news the c# team attempting to justify some of the latest changes, few people wanted them and many even objected also pointing out how trivial and even misleading and dangerous they were.
sigh, makes me wonder why would I replace the bald tires on my car when I could use that time and money to add another steering wheel.

If I Recall Correctly... I thought Outlook 97 was bloated.
Has anything been added to any portion of the Office suite that has been needed?
I just set up a new laptop and Office 2019....
+1 Dark theme support
-1 Theme runs across the entire suite. Change it in Outlook and it changes in Excel
-1 Offering to install Outlook App for my phone when I add an email address

Going through a Linux practice test and, so far, I've found two incorrect answers
They say chmod 760 sets Owner rwx, Group r-x, and Other nothing.
They say local host should be 0.0.0.0 in the hosts file for IPv6.
I'm almost afraid to go through the rest of the test. Who knows how many really I don't know, and will end up stuffing my head with incorrect info?

by chance at the end of the test is there an advert for linux support services?
ace the test and you'd need that big time.

I'm currently rewatching all the old "Yes Minister" episodes (Jörgens fault![^]) and I checked IMDb just the other day to see if there was any of the principal cast still alive.
There was at that time...

I just saw the news of his passing. It's so sad. Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister played a large part in the formation of my sense of humour (except for the Margaret Thatcher involvement).

It's just a shame she thought she could act in it.

Trolling. 
And if you're going to troll something, at least be accurate about it.

How on Earth is that trolling?
Is alphabet a member of CP that peruses the Lounge? If not, I can't troll it.
It's a slight exaggeration, for the sake of taking the piss.
If you can't take a joke, you're in the wrong forum.

But I suppose you're right, your post was funny.  I just don't get British humour. It's so hilarious.

IMHO this is irrelevant.
I may earn 100 and pay 20 as taxes, you can earn 1000000000 and pay 2000 as taxes, that doesn't mean anything at all.

Yes.
His post was the same as we saw many times in the soapbox where people would claim that big businesses paid no taxes at all and start crying about the evils of capitalism.
But apparently it was meant in humor.
