I
I don't mind admitting it, I still use a lot of free Microsoft products and utilities, because they work fine and mostly because they are free and convenient.
A good example is Clipchamp that I use for quick video editing because it does what its supposed to do and works fairly well.
One thing I loathe about all vendors that do this, is when they do a software update and change my preferences.
In this example Clipchamp changed my default location to OneDrive; which I have never used and actually removed that app from my computer. Most people gloss over these screens and then wonder where their files went, or accuse Microsoft of deleting their files..
The worst part about this example, is when i click on "Choose a different folder" , all I get is the digital image of the 'drain of death sucking all time and space from my day' . after a few minutes
Here's best part , even when I choose my local drive, then I'm asked to login to my Microsoft account that I haven't used in years.
I can see a malicious programmer exploiting this behavior to collect credentials, but then again I'm always accused of being too paranoid... :)
PSA: take a second or two to actually read the screens and you will be further ahead.
