3 Best Microsoft Applications
Yes, I’m Still A Google Fanboy
Even though I’m a Google fanboy at heart, there is no denying that a large amount of my time working with technology is on a laptop running Windows 10 (Since I can’t use Windows 11 officially). So as much as I like to ignore Microsoft at times I do think it’s important to acknowledge the fact that I use a lot of their software, so let’s go over what I consider to be the best applications that Microsoft has to offer.

While this may have seemed like a questionable decision at the time since it’s more or less using Microsoft resources to support a Google product considering the open source nature of things, it ultimately ended up being a worthwhile investment for Microsoft, not only do they now have a viable browser solution again but they’re also starting to make a dent in the market share, far from reaching Google Chrome, but far superior to the more or less dead Internet Explorer. All this to say, Microsoft Edge features the performance you love from Google Chrome with multiple new features gears towards both students, professionals and creatives exclusive to Microsoft Edge, so if Google Chrome is starting to sound a little boring I suggest you give Microsoft Edge a try!
Microsoft Visio
Not many people quite know about Microsoft Visio but I believe it’s a really powerful tool that can help anyone organize various things. Whether you’re at the workplace, school or just looking to make some creative work Microsoft Visio offers up a lot of useful tools! Think of Visio as your chart application, whether we’re talking about Venn Diagrams, Organizational Charts, Process Charts or any other sort of chart, Visio offers an incredibly customizable yet…
