  @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.

  @BadalK99277 No. Windows is only still relevant because of entrenchment. Active Directory, Windows Server, Office365, Azure, all are relevant only because of entrenchment. If all software that only runs on Windows could run on Linux, then there would be no need for Windows.

  @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.

  @ChadBurgessAU @FranMooMoo They are using Government-spec Office 365, it will have audit logs. Every thing action down to a message on Teams or viewing a folder in OneDrive us logged. The user, the location, the action, metadata.

  @nypost In all fairness to Microsoft, if the NASA Admin doesn’t set their Office 365 location to #outerfukingspace they might have an issue logging in.

  @billypurgatory I'm still salty about the fact that I bought Office 2016 where they advertised it as a lifetime product and now they announced they will stop supporting it. I'm still using it because I refuse to pay for Office 365. It's just crazy how terrible of a company Microsoft has become.

  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.

  @Anas_Sloth @Yetee_ @WildSentences no, you are with your utter idiocy. what does "365" have to do with literally anything in this conversation? do i need 365 attacking computers? Do i need to use office 365 like a micro simp? If you can't even clearly make a statement, don't bother trying to talk to people. What document on 365? What ******** does that gotta do with anything? Your answer is clearly dumb and has no sustenance behind it. Just make a little sense will ya. like you started off telling me it isn't a network problem, it is a backup problem. while responding to my message talking about data replication(A ******* backup). Thanks for pointing out the obvious! If anyone is a troll here it is you. I say it is a backup issue, and then you tell me "No, it is a backup issue not a network issue." Like a backup doesn't live on a network, requiring networking knowledge. All while telling me about bandwidth( A ******* networking Issue!!!!!)

  @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.

  @omninomsky @jiya_3063 WSL helps on windows, and has been quite amazing really. That said, one big "reason" for developing "preferring" windows really comes down to corporate governance and office tools. Many businesses run off Office 365, sharepoint, etc. Yes, you can run these in a browser, but with limitations. Another big reason is governance of machines. Machines are imaged, sent out and a good 25% of their utilization is just off of software like antivirus, threat scanning, etc. It's pretty inefficient, in my view, but can be an uphill battle to change it.

  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.

  @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"
