  @Itsfoss Microsoft actually subsidized the cost of Windows in order to sell OneDrive and Office365 subscriptions. And yes, that's back to the same old anti trust issues.

  "GitHub's scale is unprecedented." No, it really isn't. GitHub: 150M total users. Office 365: 345M total users. Xbox: 500M monthly active users. Bing: 100M+ daily active users. The company that runs Office, Xbox and Bing can run GitHub. If reliability is slipping, that's a priorities problem, not a scale problem.

  How does @Office365 need to update AGAIN today!? I've already had to close everything down to update this morning! Oh how I long for a MacBook Pro. Oh how I long for a Chromebook. #GGGRRR

  @S4m4_VT @Pirat_Nation Not a Linux problem, 99% of games do works on Linux tho but via workaround (That got simplified by steam in a remarkable way) As for softwares, welp you're not going to use Office 365. You have to adapt and find the right tools that works with your machine.

  @KidTriple87 To me it’s more a matter of leveraging adjacencies. Yes, AWS is #1, Azure 2, GCP is 3. But Amazon doesn’t own Office365 or Outlook and Exchange Server or SQL and other services Enterprises depend on, nor does Google. It’s a leg up and warrants scrutiny I think

  @peach2k2 @B1rtek1 Same. You have to go to office 365 logout and then sign in again. This is inhumane UX!

  I’ve long said that digital wallets have a *distribution problem* In larger economies, 1/3 of people work for big enterprises And when you consider that Office365 has about 50% marketshare... ...the addressable market for a new portable employee ID becomes *absolutely massive*

  @marcelhaasIO @MaxBrodeurUrbas @satyanadella All my accounts use the same email and sometimes different passwords. The average user does not know he needs to save the credentials as “azure login”, “office 365 login”, “exchange admin login”. Dude it’s a mess.

  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.

  @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.

  @korewadiego My biggest problems are that the UI is awful compared to Office 365, and it seems incapable of opening an existing docx without completely nuking the formatting.

  I hate the fact that the "Microsoft Office" suite of apps is now the "Microsoft Copilot App" with the fire of 1000 suns. Even trying to work out how to download it when I login to Office365 is a complete nightmare!

  Spending this morning trying to figure out if Microsoft #Office365 is impacting just our company or if it's more widespread since Microsoft is showing everything is fine and outage reports globally are spiking right now #Outlook365 . Creates a huge work stoppage.

  @glenn_tunes Deal! Since US companies are banned in EU: GMail immediately deletes all accounts for EU citizens and countries. Ditto Office365. YouTube immediately deletes all EU content. Google blocks access to the Play Store for EU citizens. Apple blocks all access to iCloud and other Apple services to EU accounts and deletes all data. AWS immediately deletes all EU accounts and shut down all the EU regions. Ditto Azure. Cloudflare bans all EU IPs. Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Micron, Texas Instruments, Cisco, Qualcomm, IBM, Dell, and other US hardware companies ban sales of systems and components to the EU. Every major AI provider blocks access to EU citizens and companies. Major SaaS companies, including major manufacturing software providers like Autodesk and Onshape, block access to their products from the EU. Basically the EU accomplishes it's goal to become a 3rd world country overnight without the hassle of importing the 3rd world first.

  @DoWhatYouDo6 I thought they: 1. were serious about developing the next-gen XBOX console with AMD which was codenamed Project Magnus under the leadership of Sarah Bond. 2. the cost of RAM and SSDs skyrocketed so its specification was unaffordable and Satya Nadella quietly cancelled Project Magnus, but expected Sarah to lie to the community that they were still manufacturing hardware, to buy their engineers time to work on Windows 12 X and then have OEM bring out PCs that conformed to the Windows 12 X reference specification, that requires the AMD Magnus SoC which does Path Tracing. The initial spec. was 48 GB GDDR7 RAM which was probably for the dev kit, and since they are talking about using Neural Texture compression they might only need 32 GB for retail. However, this PC could cost as much as $4,000 and it would outperform self-builds that are $10,000 so that price, whilst unaffordable for XBOTs, is value for money for a consumer who is wealthy and could afford to buy more software, but realistically will tend to only play a couple of games (e.g. their Microsoft Flight Simulator, or Forza Horizon 6), so Microsoft need to get them through monetisation, although their real concern is to ensure a sale of Windows so that they don't lose customers of their Office 365 GroupWare to Linux business software, which could happen through SteamOS installs and not necessarily the Steam Machine itself. That is why Satya Nadella still bothers with gaming at all, because they need it as a Trojan Horse for their increasingly dog **** Operating System, which you won't notice is literal malware (spyware) because you spend most of your time in XBOX Mode that it lets you boot your computer straight into so the Operating System is kinda moot. Sarah Bond resigned because she had too much integrity to lie to XBOX fans. This pissed them off so she wasn't mentioned in their memo. 3. Asha was brought in by Satya to "acclimate" consumers on XBOX (on a variety of platforms and devices) to Copilot AI via the Gaming Copilot service. That backfired and consumers did not want that. Asha listened and "listening" characterised everything she did including Twitter polls to let fans choose: Xbox or XBOX and have a premature 25 anniversary showcase as they can't wait until 25th November 2026 to do that showcase. Maybe Phil Spencer will show up at an event in November and have a "rose tinted spectacle" nostalgic history of everything good that took place over 25 years (leaving out RRoD and DRM), but I doubt it. So, Asha was renaming Magnus to Helix with the justification it had Gaming Copilot integration, but it has lost that now, so what distinguishes it as a "project". It may be that she is talking about using AI to help port XBOX GDK code to their unified Windows GDK (so developers with PC make their games for Windows and there is no need to port what they make to XBOX or have an XBOX dev kit as the XBOX is a PC because Asha changed Microsoft Gaming to XBOX so all XBOX refers to is their games, services and microtransactions and not necessarily any console hardware at all). You then get the promotion of the AMD partnership at GDC 2026 and their commitment to Cross Progression and it becomes obvious that they are tripling down on encouraging their XBOX users with real money who are good customers who actually buy games (and aren't petulant whiny babies demanding all AAAs are Day One in GAME PASS and don't buy games through this service like Fatal Mephisto but rent everything for as long as it is available), to migrate to Windows 12 X. 4. Asha has said no one wants to pay $2000 for a console, so that led to speculation that they would imitate Google Stadia (only rent all the software/servers) and play on a Samsung TV without need of a console, but that requires an investment in racks of servers that need to be fully utilised to be economic, so unless they do something wild and buy Netflix my bet is on no next-gen XBOX console and expensive Windows 12 X PCs.

  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.

  @mistressdivy Lots of problems with OneDrive but the problem is not OneDrive. It was Microsoft's demand that Windows 11 or Office 365(have not really dug in yet) defaults to your one drive. This causes problems.
