Microsoft has recently been added to the BDS list. Do not forget to give their apps a review.

Only trouble is Microsoft clearly doesn't care about negative reviews of their applications, because they've been receiving negative reviews for years now.

It's not like you can even avoid using their products, personally you can install Linux but you're probably going to still have to use a Windows device at work, and business is where they make most of their profit anyway.

It's mildly entertaining at times to scroll through the reviews of the HEIF Image Extension in the Microsoft Store. Microsoft doesn't care one bit how bad they are.

Yeah, work is where they get you. I’m fortunate to be able to use Linux at work too, but the company is still paying for my M365 account which I use in a browser for meetings and communication.

They still have presence in for example the Play store. A review can cost little time to place, yet it can affect a lot. Though avoid mentioning certain words censored by the play store.

Is "id rather take a shot to the back of the throat from Andy Dick, than be stuck using Microsoft Office" approved for the app store?
