  @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?

  @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?

  @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.

  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.

  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.

  @satyanadella @grok, @MicrosoftHelps, help me out here, please. Is what I am asking for actually available in Word + Copilot; i.e. the ability to cooperatively and natively edit a change tracked word document without awkward and complicated copy and paste from a chat window? I have business license for Office 365 used in conjunction with ChatGPT Pro but the last time I had access to CoPilot it was just a non-integrated chat. For example, when I asked it for help with an OutLook problem inside Outlook CoPilot it asked me what email client I was using.... However, for a while I'm not even getting a Copilot option inside Word and other Office apps.

  Steve Ballmer explains the accountability trap inside founder-led companies. He had been Microsoft's 30th employee. When he became CEO in 2000, he says the first year was miserable: "Bill didn't know how to work for anybody." "I didn't know how to manage Bill." Then Gates gave him the line that changed the job: "I'm happy to help you any way, but I don't want you to need me." Ballmer says that was when it hit him: "We're not partners anymore. I have to take accountability." After Gates left, Microsoft pushed into Bing, Office 365, Azure, Surface, and hardware. Then Ballmer gives the scoreboard: "I started a company that had about $2.5 million of revenue and 30 people." "I left a company that had $22 billion in profit." I have seen this handoff problem inside scaling companies. The hard part is not respecting the founder. The hard part is knowing when the company needs one accountable owner of the decision. The diagnostic I would use: if the old partner still has veto power but no longer owns the result, the org is already confused. - Steve Ballmer on Bloomberg Television

  @_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.

  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.
