How silly and shrill. Microsoft doesn’t “hold your documents and files as a hostage against future payments.” If you stop paying for the software, or for the storage space, then they’ll quite properly take back the software and the storage space, but the files are *yours* and ought to exist on your local computer as well as wherever you put them in the cloud. Rants against Microsoft (or Apple) add nothing to the conversation. Don’t like it? Don’t use it.
