Performance and reliability is indeed terrible. It is a mystery that a word processor crashes so often and take 10s of seconds just to quit. But the fact is that they get the job done and I haven't seen any decent alternatives to word,

Anything Microsoft other than Office+outlook sucks. I don't know about azure though as I have not endured it yet. Adobe wants to have you by your balls the moment you install their installer :-) I keep a separate computer for Adobe stu
