So you're bashing Microsoft for offering a cross platform solution on a Google account reliant device such as Android?

Then why did you install Word? If you didn't want to "jump through hoops" then why not just use Google Docs - which won't ask you anything since you're already using your Google account?

You seem to be asking questions that were answered.

>Then why did you install Word?

"Its a hugely wonderful word processor"

> If you didn't want to "jump through hoops" then why not just use Google Docs

Seems like they did exactly that. "Needless to say, that crap is uninstalled. I already chose a cloud provider, I dont need yet another on"

Until I read parent's comment, I had no idea I needed a Microsoft account to save . I have Word installed, but only ever use it as a viewer.
