  @Diss0lution For many years now, the Office 365 installer is broken in French, instead of showing something like "90% complété" in the system notification icon, it says "90lformat error! complété" - incorrectly parsing the percent sign as a parameter. Trillon dollars company at work.

  @Mettshish @onestromelufan @NetflixAnime It’s the stupid Indians that work there that caused this whole mess, they have been doing this for a very long time and have been getting away with it for a long long time. Until now this plague has started to reveal itself into the public eye. Office 365 not working in space was just the tip of the iceberg people

  Value Investor 💸 (@value_invest01) reported 8 minutes ago

  @CalebInvests_ Ackman bought $MSFT in Feb when it dipped and looked more compelling on valuation. He probably sees Microsoft as more "embedded" in enterprise, Office 365, Azure, Copilot with stickier revenue and better pricing power compared to $META, which is heavily tied to ad cycles and consumer attention. Wall Street isn’t missing anything big, it’s mostly about price and margin of safety. MSFT just offered a better entry at the time. I believe his entry was around $370 for $MSFT that was a great entry and it provided a great margin of safety. $META would need to go down into $450 area for same margin of safety $MSFT was at $370.

  @arinwaichulis Out of office replies reveal the address. When you say bounced emails reveal the source email; what do you mean by this? As in the mail server rejects it? Eg office 365 exchange online?

  @Outlook @gmail Dear Support Team, I am experiencing an issue while configuring my Gmail account on Microsoft Office 365. This account is already successfully configured and working on five devices. However, I am unable to configure it on a sixth device. During the setup process, I receive an error message. Please note that our company email domain is hosted with Google. I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue. Please let me know if you require any additional information, including screenshots of the error message. Thank you for your support.

  @garethicke Stop subscribing to Microsoft Word years ago went you had to pay an annual fee for Windows 10 office 365. To type documents on your own laptop. That got stored onto their server. Still have an old Windows 7 on an ancient PC though. **** off Gates.

  @signulll I used to think MSFT was oversold, but I now think they have a major issue. Office 365 is not agent friendly, the OS is from a different era. Teams is a disgrace.

  @AiwithLucas_ Your analogies fail. These AI agents are still using M$ tools. If Netflix used Blockbuster as the source for their videos, Blockbuster would still be around. The Goodyear analogy works because just as self driving cars still rely on tires, AI will still rely on M$ services. Switching to "background infrastructure" does not hurt M$. M$ makes MORE money off of server apps and cloud services, such as Active Directory, Exchange Server, SQL Server, Azure, etc, than it does from the Office 365 services you're talking about AI reducing. Where do you think AI agents live?

  @WindowsCentral Because...consumer. No human support option on first contact. Only AI, Forums & Forms. Automated responses. It's the same issue as consumer Office 365 user. If you run in a serious problem as data loss or exchange issues, you're screwed. Only commercial customer get a minimum

  @farzyness @bot That's why I have GrokB using Grok build cli. Same with emails. I have a mailB who uses a custom build mcp server that retrieves my emails from office 365 graph. Waiting for 4.7 though.

  Microsoft Threat Intelligence (@MsftSecIntel) reported 34 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.

  I wonder how much productivity the entire world economy has lost just from Microsoft products not working as intended. Freelancing for a new company, and they gave me my first Office 365 email that I've ever had to deal with on a professional basis. Within the first 2 hours, it's not even working and won't let me send emails. I'll take "things that would never happen with Gmail" for $500.

  Microsoft's Empire Continues to Crumble Microsoft has 450 million Office 365 users. Their flagship AI product, Copilot, has converted just 3.3% of them into paying customers. The stock is down 12 to 15 percent year-to-date, and their CFO recently circulated an internal memo calling for a “tighter” organization moving at an “increased pace.” That is corporate code for one thing: more people may be about to lose their jobs. The question I keep coming back to is this: what happens when the company that built the modern office, the one that owns your email, spreadsheets, calendar, documents, and most of your work life, starts losing its grip on the one product it bet everything on? And what does it mean when Anthropic walks directly into Microsoft’s living room, right inside Word, Excel, and Outlook, and starts doing the job better than Microsoft itself? Is the world’s most powerful tech titan actually running on fumes? What if the $13 billion bet that was supposed to secure Microsoft’s future is becoming the weight that drags it down? Why are internal memos suddenly demanding a faster, tighter organization while their flagship software struggles under the weight of its own updates? OpenAI is projecting staggering losses, Microsoft’s stock just took a major hit, and the “exclusive” moat they thought they had is starting to disappear. So the real question is: is Microsoft still an innovator, or has it become a market-paralyzing giant that has lost its way? Today, we’re looking past the marketing and into the data to see why the pillars are starting to crack.

  I've been thinking about this a lot. I've been using Windows most of my life, and in general preferred it to other operating systems. Windows 10 was solid, it just worked and got out of the way. Enter Windows 11. I read all the bad online press, and even defended Windows. Until I installed Windows 11 on my new home PC. It's hard to describe how badly MS ****** up Windows as a consumer operating system. Some of the top things that drove (and still does) me insane; 1. The initial install is quick enough. But then, enter the Co-Pilot and Office 365 prompts. I had to decline Co-Pilot probably 7 or 8 times during the install. Absolute madness. I do not want to use it, and have no interest in it. Just stop with this madness. 2. Create a local user? Nope! You must have a Microsoft account linked to OneDrive. I bought a desktop PC to play games, and do things locally. I do not want or need a cloud based account linked to and blocking my PC setup. 3. I want to create a separate local profile for my 6 year old daughter. Nope! Can't do that... your kid needs a Microsoft account. Absolute ******* madness. 4. Finally I get everything setup... cool now let's get Minecraft installed for kids. I buy Minecraft in the store. Go through the hugely convoluted user switching process, login to daughters account. Minecraft's not there. WTF? Game is tied to, and only available to play under my login. 5. Figure out I have to setup family sharing. The UX to get this going is such a ******* hot mess I almost give up. One of the worst user journeys I've ever done in my life. After all the effort, I cannot share Minecraft with my daughter's account. To this day I haven't been able to figure out why, as all the prerequisites are met. So now as a parent, and owner of the paying account, I can't buy games for my kids. Serious WTF moment. 6. Never ending daily barrage of Co-Pilot and OneDrive notifications. 7. The overall UX of Windows 11 has also just been neutered. File Explorer is now as bad as MacOS, and the OS is laggy as hell for simple tasks. And OMG, ads everywhere. Always. For an OS I paid thousands for. I can't imagine ever wanting to say upgrade my parents to Windows 11, it simply just won't work them. The only thing really keeping me on Windows right now, is Flight Sim 2024. But TBH I've been very disappointed in that as well, outside of fancy graphics, it's very meh compared to previous versions. Modern Linux distros are looking very enticing right now. All the games I play via Steam work on Linux, and Nvidia driver support lately is good. Microsoft should take long hard look at this. If customers move off off Windows, they move off off your entire ecosystem. No one is using your cloud products from any other OS, which seems to be the only thing MS cares about lately. Folks like @marchr and @pavandavuluri really need to undo this absolute shitshow, PM drivel driven, that MS released in Windows 11.

  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!

  @EvanLuthra What is going on with these tech companies just taking away more of our rights and charging us more to do so?????? Microsoft "updated" my Office 365 Home addition with the "New" version. Not knowing this at the time, I open up Outlook as usual and thre was the "New" version. Less functionality and unusable to me. I located the switch to go back to Classic toggle button, slid it over, and Bam, a pop-up survey appears asking me why I dont like the new version. So now I can't do anything, twice as much. I scroll down and hit the skip button, but it is grayed out. Next to it is the submit button greyed out. Now totally pissed off I start typing expletives into the survey form. Guess what you have to complete the form to skip it. I and now not just pissed off, exponentially, but also feeling like the smartest person on the freaking planet. I don't know when it happened but tech, just basic stuff, has totally gone into the toilet. How is AI supposed to run on top of this garbage?

  @_stormed @xPraveen07 I used to agree, but at this point, IT is just factory farming. Nobody knows what they’re doing, so if they can just use remote office 365 and basic tools, that’s what IT departments hire. I had one guy quit because “they use Linux on a server”. Ok buddy, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

  @PaperBozz You’ll always have enterprise customers where as it makes more sense to rent (think Office 365) vs hire a team (and lofty capex budget) to mange compute on prem. Makes alot of sense to rent compute in other words, solves a problem plenty viable buisnenes model/service. Everything digital future.

  Assume low data rate and high ping. Now assume you're trying to log in to an Office 365 implementation of some sort. All that said, while astronauts are professionals, they're not IT pros and probably couldn't tell you the difference between outlook and an exchange server.

  Recently I've been thinking about how though microsoft does get a lot of hate, if you judge the company by its good products its actually genuinely a pretty good company. It just gets dragged down by the ****** versions of windows and the hell-scape that has become office 365.
