  @authorjoyshaw I use Microsoft's VibeVoice to read it back to me. It's probably the same thing offered by Office365, just on their server and not my local machine.

  @asaio87 SaaS isn’t dead , but certain SaaS products that aren’t complex and that don’t have risk associated with them will be , and the rest will be open for disruption, especially on price. Not unlike when I automated the backend network/server/os/app layer of office 365 for Microsoft a decade plus ago , allowing them to reduce the per seat cost like 50% or something crazy.

  In order to penetrate an Office 365 organization, you have to get through the Entra ID administrator. Non-trivial. Right now the Claude connector is asking for Read-Only permissions on a very restricted surface of the tenant. That’s the foot in the door: maybe that gets you through the admins, but it’s not game changing for customers. Sure, you can ask about your meetings or who sends you lots of email but you can’t DO anything, You need write. You need delete. If Claude asked for read-write, or any larger scope beyond the user, then you’d hear a big record scratch. They will be instantly shut down by the admins and CISOs. But CoPilot = Microsoft. That means: they have everything, the enterprise admin already trusts them, which means more permissions and thus better features. Right now Entra ID is a moat and this Claude connector is no threat, Perhaps this will get Microsoft off its ***. Or maybe they just acquire Anthropic.

  Let's put some "customer" information in here, so you have a better perspective. First, most of us who live in cyber security world avoid Edge like the plague. It is malware gangrene. You have designed it so that it digs in to every piece of our system, gathering our information, and we can't configure it to stay out. Security concerns. Let's add another problem, which is creating problems in daily operations: Office 365 has been designed in a way that prevents us from normal functions that we valued highly in Office Professional 2016, which was your cleanest, most professional WORKING version. Fast, efficient, and without the intrusions of 'phone' children processing. The new O365 is the least professional of all the versions you have 'improved.' I don't care about you tracking my daily work, giving me a 'viva report.' In fact, I want that deleted. There are so many bugs in O365, such as synching issues, wherein entire strings of emails disappear from the in box if I use a different device to respond to a Customer. There is a LONG list of 'improvements' you force in during updates that are actually damaging to work flow. Further, trying to force us into the NEW outlook is enraging. We keep using the "classic" to survive all your bugs and bad screen layouts, and the lack of controls your new version has imposed, and it keeps flipping back. SOOOOO many things we all hate about O365 and you do nothing to fix them. YOU have decided how we should do business. These childish relabeling and moving episodes of commands does not improve your product. Example: There was a function that allowed me to open an email, search 'all related emails' and find an older piece of the conversation. That's gone. Why? Many of the admin functions in settings are simply gone. Same with the new Windows. When I go research in various communities, MANY humans have the same complaints. Everyone hates the new versions of both products. SOME OF US are required to work offline, we do not work in your clouds. We have to have everything on the computer unit to travel without cloud access. You have made that a major problem. Do yourself a favor. If you want us to actually LIKE you, instead of hate you all day, take a survey here. Ask everyone what they miss about the old product, just start with 2016 Office Professional, and ask what they hate about O365. Ask about security problems, ask about the sentiment regarding Edge being forced on us, without the ability to uninstall it. Learn this: We are paying your salary. Learn this: We are all unhappy with the current product. Millions of us are heavy-use professionals that need the cleaner version. The current online version is even worse than that desktop app. Learn this: 2016, literally, was the last clean version you produced/coded. Once you went all SAS and cloud sales focused, you trashed a great product. Maybe have a team researching all the public comments and problems.

  @RihardJarc Half of its market value is office 365. So you can cut that segment in half, thus reducing its market cap by 25%. I think that segment's going to go down even more

  @CryptoJ97019913 1. Upselling microsoft products: Office365, OneDrive, Copilot, Xbox Live. "Start Experiences App" 2. Recommendation: Start menu items, app search results. 3. Driving traffic to bing: - Desktop "learn more about image", - same with lock and login screen. - Applications with "search the web" feature are directly tied to Bing. - Weather widget is there to drive you to bing news feed - Search in task bar has that little icon to drive you to bing. It's not a conspiracy that the window home user is monetized through ads. Microsoft makes $20+ billion on ad revenue and it's assumed that roughly 75% of that is coming from windows users. It is very important to drive users from windows to bing.

  I am really disappointed in @Apple Business. They finally launch a cloud platform for business mail, but you can’t set up a user mailbox if it was previously used in iCloud+ custom email domains?? I’m being told that it’s not just a 30 day wait, I will never be able to set those mailboxes up. And there’s no user aliases, no multi-domain email support. No multi-tenant offerings (not that I expect that yet). I get that it’s still in its infancy, but come on. These are basic features and they worked with the personal side. I found a way to create user groups with emails that seemed like a workaround to still get mail that’s addressed to these inboxes, but then I found out that they can only be emailed to internally from the same domain. Apple policies are blocking external senders. I spoke to four different support reps over 3+ hours yesterday and they don’t even understand this issue or how to fix it. They keep asking about where the domain is registered when it is clearly an issue deep within Apple systems at a very high level that needs to be changed. I didn’t like the Office 365 integration with the Apple ecosystem, which is why I was so excited for this. But not having access to my mailboxes and not even being able to implement a workaround IS A MAJOR ISSUE. What’s going on @tim_cook? How could this have shipped like this?

  @OrevaZSN Why would anyone be trying to edit a PDF in Word? Edit it in Acrobat, where it belongs. And Word isn't a DTP app. Some of us know how to use it very well and don't have these issues. Not saying Office 365 isn't a hell hole, but at least use the right app for the job at hand

  Unfortunately with this phone I've had to install the Microsoft Email App, @Office I absolutely hate its display and way of working with it. Now, because of their many updates, the SEND little icon/arrow is no longer showing when you want to send or forward an email from my phone. Apparently, you now have to SCHEDULE a time for sending an email and they don't even give you the option of sending it NOW. I mean, you are typing an email or want to forward it to others, why on earth would you want to schedule a time to send it? I've sent them a DM so hopefully they will come back to me soon with a solution to this problem. I just want to type and send, NOT wait until tomorrow to send it. Otherwise, I would type it tomorrow, NOT today. God give me strength and a lot of patience. Why NOT allow people who use Microsoft Office 365 like me to just have the email App they want on their phones? We are NOT a dictatorship just yet, so I, NOT Microsoft must choose what I want on my phone and it all must be compatible with Office 365 on either your laptop or desktop pcs. Grateful if they can help, as I need to work and am NOT home atm. Thanks

  @12Knocksinna @Office365 The annoying part IMO is that we had perfectly function PowerShell cmdlets that were efficient and solved problems in single lines that have now been replaced by tomes of graph documentation, the horrors of the mggraph wrapper, authorization scopes, and a million other points of annoyance. The majority of M365 admins are not developers and will not take up learning how to write their own tools in their free time to perform basic administrative tasks.

  🎣 DFIR Suite API Spotlight: CheckPhish URL Scan You're triaging a suspected phishing email. The URL looks clean in VirusTotal. No hits in your threat intel feeds. But something feels off. This is where POST /phishing/checkphish earns its keep. It scans URLs in real-time using CheckPhish's detection engine — purpose-built to catch live phishing pages, tech support scams, and brand impersonation attempts that haven't made it into static blacklists yet. What you get back: disposition (clean/suspicious/phishing), the brand being targeted (Microsoft, PayPal, etc.), and a screenshot of the rendered page. That screenshot alone can confirm what logs can't — whether it's a convincing Office 365 login clone or a legitimate site. Practical scenario: User forwards you a "verify your account" email with a shortened link. You expand it, run it through /phishing/checkphish, and within seconds you have a verdict and visual proof. No need to spin up a sandboxed browser or wait for threat intel to catch up. Costs 2 credits per request. Available on all plans at hXXps://platform[.]dfir-lab[.]ch It's a fast, reliable check for the URLs that don't trigger your existing defenses — but probably should. #DFIR #ThreatIntel

  The Satya Nadella Turn When Satya Nadella became CEO in 2014, the narrative shifted. He made three decisive pivots: Azure cloud computing, building direct competition with Amazon Web Services. Office 365, moving from one-time licenses to recurring subscription revenue. Doubling down on enterprise software, expanding what Microsoft was already winning.

  Luke Parrish (@lsparrish) reported 29 minutes ago

  @esrtweet I think Excel is the grand bottleneck, or was last I checked. Imagine trying to switch a bank, say your local credit union, over to LibreOffice or any of the StarOffice lineage. Doable in principle, but realistically all the macros are broken (the version of BASIC differs from Excel) and the median banker doesn't have muscle memory for the new keyboard shortcuts anyway. You can obviously use Office 365 from a browser, but you lose access to some features (again, last I checked) and it's still Microsoft. Linux is absolutely fine for everything I use it for. The problem is mostly just lack of attention on things that people who have already adopted it don't themselves need. Window Manager wise, there are several where it's hard to tell the difference between that and Windows or MacOS (or the difference is ~entirely good things).

  @KingDamilotun XLOOKUP (This only works on latest version of excel like Office 365 and has inbuilt error msg) INDEX-MATCH (works on older version of Excel, but more complex to write. The downside here is that you'd have to wrap it in an IFERROR function to return an error msg)

  Dan Greller (@dgreller) reported 34 minutes ago

  @bretgreenstein @KarolCodes Agreed. Historically, things moved at a slow enough pace that there was ample time to reasonably estimate the cost of an associate's tech stack. The value obtained from that stack was self-evident, exceeding its cost. For example, no rational firm was doing an ROI on whether a new associate should have a PC or an Office 365 license. It was table stakes. In this new AI world, both the costs and the potential value are radically changing on a routine basis. It makes it that much harder to have sound and stable financial governance models.

  Microsoft Threat Intelligence (@MsftSecIntel) reported 36 minutes ago

  Microsoft Threat Intelligence has identified a cluster of compromised websites displaying ClickFix lures and using EtherHiding, a technique associated with the ClearFake campaign. An injected Base64-encoded JavaScript contacts a BNB Smart Chain RPC gateway to query a smart contract previously reported in connection with ClearFake to fetch next-stage instructions. Content stored in a smart contract is resistant to conventional takedown or sinkholing because only the owner of the cryptocurrency wallet that deployed it can make changes. Users are presented with a fake CAPTCHA that instructs them to open the Windows Run dialog, paste clipboard content, and press Enter to execute an attacker-supplied command under the guise of verification. We’re seeing multiple forms of command obfuscation and living-off-the-land abuse, including conhost, cmd, PowerShell, pcalua, mshta, rundll32, msiexec, curl, WMI, WebDAV, and scheduled tasks. Carets split keywords, environment variables hide interpreters, and Windows run headlessly or minimized. TerminalFix lures apply the same technique but direct users to Windows Terminal or PowerShell instead of the Run dialog. This campaign demonstrates that ClickFix and TerminalFix are a high-volume initial access technique. Microsoft reports campaigns targeting thousands of enterprise and consumer devices globally every day, while some malvertising chains can funnel visitors to scam pages. Numerous actors use the technique to deliver Lumma Stealer and other infostealers, RATs such as Xworm and AsyncRAT, loaders including MintsLoader, and remote management tools. A single successful execution can expose credentials, establish persistence, enable lateral movement, and create a path to human-operated ransomware and potential domain compromise. Microsoft recommends that organizations enable Microsoft Defender network, web, and cloud-delivered protection; restrict Run and command-line tools where not required; enable PowerShell script-block logging; and implement application control. Users should never paste commands from CAPTCHAs, browser errors, emails, ads, or unsolicited support pages into Run, Terminal, PowerShell, or Command prompt. Microsoft Defender XDR provides layered protection across the ClickFix attack chain. Defender SmartScreen and Defender for Office 365 help block malicious sites, links, attachments, and fake CAPTCHA lures, while Defender for Endpoint detects suspicious command execution and outbound connections through alerts like “Suspicious command in RunMRU registry”, “Possible ClickFix activity”, “Possible initial access from an emerging threat”. Microsoft Defender Antivirus blocks malicious command execution using detections such as Trojan:Win32/ClickFix.* and Trojan:Win32/TermFix.*. Treat these alerts as evidence of a potential initial access incident: isolate affected devices, investigate credential exposure and persistence, and hunt for related activity.

  @KeithMalinak Autocorrect may have been taking a few days off. Here's a real-life example from my own workplace. Through the miracle of SharePoint and Office365, I'm sharing a document with a Project Manager and we're adding questions and answers as I am refining his request for a change to our production environment. He edited something in the document abruptly last week resulting in colliding words and other jumbled things that I couldn't parse. I highlighted the text and requested, "Please fix these typos when you get a moment. " He fixed the typos and left me a comment in response: "Compelted"

  like for example: if you defend an org you will likely have: A firewall/VPN server A router/switch A cloud hosted web server Microsoft office 365 Maybe an Remote Desktop Services (or VDI) Service Your daily world will not be full of zero days exploding inside ur VPN server (unless you have a fortinet :P /s) these are rare events. You will have: Phishing/AITM attacks Scams/BEC Identity Dictionary/Brute Force you will also have malware etc. on box IPS/IDS/EDR alerts for behavioural type stuff (most of these are false positives) so software vulnerabilities on the edge in terms of volume will likely not be ur daily grind! identity will.

  Microsoft is starting to show up on deep value screens. This is not a broken company. This is not a melting ice cube. This is the most dominant software business ever built — Office, Azure, Teams, LinkedIn, GitHub, Copilot — and it is sitting significantly off its all time highs. The market spent three years pricing Microsoft as an AI winner at any price. Multiple expansion took valuation to levels that required flawless execution forever. When the AI trade started rolling over, Microsoft got caught in the wreckage — not because the business broke, but because the price was simply too high. Now the price is coming to the business. Azure growth is still compounding. Office 365 pricing power is intact. Free cash flow is a machine. The balance sheet is a fortress. Copilot monetization has barely started. This is what deep value in megacap tech looks like. It does not look like a disaster. It looks like a great business having a bad year in the market. The distinction matters enormously. Great business. Washed out price. The market is handing you an entry into the best software company on earth at a discount it has not offered in years.
