  @Azure The latest official Edge build can't synchronize Profiles with old MS Accounts like @live.com.ar We've had these accounts for around 20 years, and spent a lot of money on MS Store purchases. If #Microsoft does not fix this it's plain theft.

  @Microsoft @Azure I have been trying to get a 365 business license for 6 weeks now and none of your “partners” care to help a small business. I have called no less than 10 times now. I don’t understand why we have to beg TO PAY YOU. Please help! We need it to connect our Azure/BI

  Enterprise AI vendors have a credibility problem when they sell broad use intelligence while their own product documentation is inaccurate. If the system’s deterministic behavior is already codified, documenting it clearly in natural language should be table stakes in this world... 👀 @Azure @MSCloud 👀

  @Azure COPILOT IN AZURE IS USELESS AS HELL, IT DOESN’T SOLVE ****. IT FEELS LIKE AN AI MADE BY A 12-YEAR-OLD. If you offer Azure for Students, why the hell don’t the regions allow you to create free virtual machines? What the hell are those services even for?? screw all of you.

  @Azure is borderline nightmare trying to set up a batch job with simple docker image. OpenAI and Claude Opus both on max effort could not accurately help me. Gemini 3 worked well but here is the list of funny responses from Gemini: <thread>

  @AzureSupport @Azure We joined for startup support, but unexpected charges we thought Azure credits covered put us at risk of suspension. We’re unable to pay now and request a review of these charges plus an extension or relief. We value long-term partnership. #Azure #Startups

  Start VM on Connect not working from the native Windows App today but has previously. @Azure permissions set properly. Start same desktop as same user via the web client on same machine & the VM starts. No error in Windows App, just stops showing "Connecting" (and never shows Starting).🙁

  How Azure billed us $25,000 > Be me > run experiments across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure > script terminates all instances across all cloud providers > Normal charges from AWS and GCP after instances are termianted > 12 days later, get a notification about a $25,000 bill from Azure > Thinking we got hacked > The Azure dashboard makes it IMPOSSIBLE to figure out *what exactly* was incurring charges. Just a bunch of generic cost break-down > Finally figure things out and delete all resources in the resource group that was previously turned off > Somehow, half the instances were off but not "deallocated" and half were both off and deallocated (but the script used the same command for all instance terminations??) > Ask Azure to dispute charges because this makes no sense > Azure closes ticket without a resolution??? > Reopen ticket > Azure: Sorry, we understand, but nothing we can do > ?????????????????????? @Azure @Microsoft this literally rips apart our research funding and limits our future projects. This is the most messed up way to bill off of weird policies like this

  Who knew Azure was so expensive :P VM, cheap (like less than $20/month). Bastion host to connect to it, not cheap. LIke $150/month. Time to switch to AWS. WTF :P @Azure

  @Azure just lost its most valuable competitive edge. @OpenAI officially ended its cloud exclusivity with Microsoft. Their models can now be deployed on any cloud provider, and AWS CEO @ajassy already confirmed GPT models are coming to Bedrock "in the coming weeks." This was always going to happen. You can't build a $150B AI company and let one vendor own your distribution channel forever. The 2019 Azure exclusivity deal made sense when OpenAI needed survival compute. In 2026, it was just dead weight. The real lesson is that single-cloud dependencies in AI were always a bad bet. Model access, GPU availability, data sovereignty, you want optionality in all three. Anyone who locked their AI stack to Azure assuming exclusivity would last is doing some uncomfortable math right now. Is your AI stack still locked to one cloud or are you already spreading the risk?

  Hey @Azure @MicrosoftIndia — I was charged ₹1,700 for a 'NetworkWatcherRG' that was AUTO-CREATED by Azure in UAE North during my learning practice. I never intentionally deployed it. Already deleted it. Kindly look into Invoice #G157606830 and process a refund. #MicrosoftAzure

  @Azure Evaluation to enforcement is the right loop. Agent trust is not a one-time test; it needs repeated policy checks, runtime controls, and evidence that the fix actually changed behavior before the agent gets more scope.

  @guyrleech @Azure At some point someone on the Windows App team will reach the same conclusion and fix the slowness and reliability issues. And hopefully rename the App to something more useful. Copilot has problems strongly binding to such a generic name.

  WTF!!! I have an @Azure App Service Plan that went way past its supposed $69.35/mo plan, blew past my monthly budget and now I'm stuck with an astronomical cloud bill. I can't afford this when I'm unemployed!!! @AzureSupport
