  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.

  @paul_e_jones No, I have zero business with GoDaddy. But I have to deal with them for an issue that they caused through Microsoft office 365's design. The problem is that a domain name that belongs to my client used to belong to a company that used to have a Microsoft office 365 account provided through the vendor. GoDaddy. GoDaddy sells office 365 accounts. What happens is a domain name previously used with Microsoft office 365 but then the account expires and is never renewed because the company that held the domain name went out of business and sold in bankruptcy. Two company transitions later and we acquire the domain. So we go to set up Microsoft office 365 only to be hit with a message that we cannot provision the domain on their platform because of a previous tenant that just doesn't exist anymore in the real world. That business vanished a long time ago.

  @EvanOwen @tmnxeq @RhoRider I get where you are coming from. It does help *if implemented well*, just like any other software or process. It is way to early to judge effectiveness since most of the businesses are just having people use ChatGPT for random stuff and using copilot in office 365. When I did software consulting many clients would tell me they were “in the cloud” when all they meant is they have office 365 subs and a terrible sharepoint inplementation. AI is the same way. It will be several *years* before AI is used effectively in enterprise scenarios.

  @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

  Did you know that personal devices can become gateways for corporate data breaches? A recent case revealed a malware attack that accessed Office 365 through a compromised BYOD. The fix? Continuous monitoring and behavior analysis! How secure is your work device? #CyberSecurity

  @_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.

  @nonlinear_james @atalocke I’m using it to manage my work office 365 email right now without any issue. Not IMAP, either. It has native exchange capabilities. Also, WTF is wrong with IMAP? Evolution’s biggest advantage is it doesn’t tether me to a proprietary OS. No copilot BS on my computer!

  @NXT4EU We used to have office computers, running on an office server park. No outside computers had access. Micro$oft mandates Office 365 and OneDrive. The server may be in Europe, but where is the backup server. And more important: Who has admin rights over your files?

  @pascal_bornet With that in mind, he will still face the quarterly full screen ads where microsoft after a major updates, tries to push people to onedrive, office 365, and copilot, any any other bloatware they have going at the time (not much of a way to fix that without causing update issues).

  @bestfilly @SabreWuff Corps, public sector and universities generally all purchase blanket site licenses which pushes the per seat cost of the Windows OS and Office 365 down to between 5 to 10 bucks. Also the workstations these places lease suck ***. I know, I spent years in Monash IT

  @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.

  @Endory2 @Pirat_Nation The problem is the Microsoft CEO wants everything to be a subscription. They make a fortune with Office 365, but the consumer gaming space is a much different animal than business productivity software.

  @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.

  @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)

  Yep this is what I’ve always known. Problem is that Microsoft keeps treating XBox as if it were Windows, Azure, Office 365 and all its other business & productivity products & services, where there’s no respect for games as entertainment, experience and as an art form. #HearYou

  @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 cannot believe that a Company as big as @MSFT365Status @Microsoft @Office365 has had an Exchange outage since 9:11AM PST (at least) - resulting in a continued, now 5 hour, outage. So many tenants are unable to send or receive emails, and how there isn't world-class redundant infrastructure in-place for their Exchange server is beyond me.

  @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

  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!

  My voice agent pages a human when something on a call can't wait. It emails whoever's on duty with an acknowledge link. Click it, the alert is marked handled, the ladder stops climbing. Every single one was getting acknowledged within seconds. Before a person had opened the message. Enterprise mail security fetches every URL in an inbound message at delivery. SafeLinks, Proofpoint, Mimecast, Gmail prefetch. This is not new, the email marketing world has been fighting it since at least 2019 when Office 365 started unsubscribing people who never clicked anything, and the fix is the rule HTTP has had for twenty five years: a GET doesn't get to change things. Which I know. Everybody knows. My route had a comment on it saying "GET, because it is the target of a link in an email," which is true, and is not a reason to make it act. GET now renders a confirm button and changes nothing. POST records. There's a test that fetches the URL and asserts the alarm is still armed.
