A MUST essentials to install for FRESH format Windows PC / Laptop
#10
@xdude @rudra - discussion re privacy and what to watch out for.

I find Microsoft Office isn't that much different these days - particularly after my last installation.  One has to use one's e-mail address to validate Microsoft and now it shows on every single doc I create in the doc info. I can go in with a lot of trouble and remove it, but it's irritating the life out of me. So in effect Microsoft Office could turn out even worse than Google docs.  Like those corporations are just so into one's personal stuff these days. 

Can every one tell me how to turn Microsoft Office off so it doesn't use my e-mail address to add that info to all of my docs, and still operates as it should?

@xdude ..... if you check the share prices of Google and Microsoft their generosity just moves into one direction. We think we have free services, but if one really checks it out, not really. And because they are so super big, they seem to be able to call the shots, except for super savvy high tech guys like @rudra and @"Hidden Refuge" and others who have studied Windows to death and try to minimize their exposure by controlling it as much as they can instead of passively using it. I'm sure they know how to set themselves up for the very minimum exposure from a privacy point of view. I wish they could provide us with a step by step typical Windows installation a la @rudra and @"Hidden Refuge" - how they set it up, and what they load. What they avoid. That would make my day. Smile
