Rules over data access mean that none of the cloud-based suites (whether from Apple, Google or Microsoft) can be used in the German state of Hesse <https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/07/germany-threatens-to-break-up-with-microsoft-office-again/>. Who will blink first?

Well, I really hope that with the souring of the transatlantic relationship, the rest of the states pull out as well. Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 858-5174 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/

The Dutch are sounding the alarm over data leaks as well <https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/30/dutch_office_online_mobile/>. This is in Microsoft’s “Office Online” product (how does this differ from “Office 365”? Answers on a postcard, please...). In other news, Microsoft is going to rebrand “Office Online” as just “Office” from now on <https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/29/microsoft_roundup/>. Entirely coincidental, I’m sure ...
