Microsoft: Word deletes some documents instead of saving them (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

As the company explains, this bug only impacts users of Word for Microsoft 365 version 2409, build 18025.20104. Furthermore, this problem only arises when users close Word after editing and are prompted to save. After saving their changes this way, the file may disappear.

Not only does SaaS hold our data hostage, not only does it allow companies to revoke access to software at any time, we are all subject to the instability of frequent software updates, and changing whims of the software requirements.

Nothing about SaaS is convenient. When I install dumb software on my computer, I do it once and forget about it: it doesn't need security because it isn't connected to the internet, I can use a version I am happy with in perpetuity, and I don't have to worry about where my data is. Now that is convenient!

SaaS is a giant scam and software users have all been conned.

it doesn’t need security because it isn’t connected to the internet

I mostly agree with you, but this bit specifically is a little bit over simplistic.
