Probably the one feature they haven’t added yet
My office desktop has Office 2000 installed, which has autosave enabled - entirely sensible precaution give the proclivity of MS software to spontaneously die. However, it has one extremely aggravating feature - it asks me if I wish to save documents that I’ve opened to read. They’re marked read-only in the damn titlebar, I’ve made no explicit changes to it, so why the f*** does it pop up a bl**dy dialogue box 5 minutes later and every 5 minutes hence, asking me if I want to save it??? And after I’ve randomly pressed some button to just make it go away, because its broken my concentration, it comes back and moans that it can’t save it in its original location, so could I please give it a new location to save it, the document I have altered, and probably don’t care about any more. Aaaarrggh. Make it stop. Please.
