Microsoft To Shut Down Its Docs.com File-Sharing Site December 15 (zdnet.com)
Microsoft will close its file storage and sharing service Docs.com Dec. 15, it said today. As a result of its $26 billion acquisition of LinkedIn, Microsoft also got SlideShare, a more popular place for sharing presentations infographics and other materials with an audience of 70 million. SlideShare represents a better platform for storing and publishing Microsoft documents, the company said. From a report: Microsoft is advising users to migrate and/or delete content they shared on Docs.com as soon as possible. As of today, June 9, creating new Docs.com accounts is no longer supported. Those with existing accounts can still view, edit, publish, download, and delete their existing content. As of August 1, publishing and editing content on Docs.com will no longer be supported.
It will be safe there they said. Lies!
Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
I agree. What is docs.com? Google Docs for the win.
customers than actual profits. I've worked at MSFT for just over twenty-two years, and I'm sure I'm as astonished at our decisions as our customers are since they don't make a damn bit of sense. The only off the wall decisions that make sense to me are the ones to not allow vacation time since Microsoft pays out less than 2/3 of vacation time, as required by Washington state law. The company has a huge incentive to not allow any vacation time.
Google Docs for the win.
Only if your objective is for Google to win. Over you, not Microsoft.
Docs.com is where M$ got to spy on everyone's documents, they don't need it any more because windows anal probe 10 grabs it right off the computers of the gullible. They intent is not just to steal private data but also ideas, not just individuals but also small and medium business, they are an extremely corrupt company as demonstrated by their perverse desire to invade the privacy of everyone's homes.
