  @authorjoyshaw I use Microsoft's VibeVoice to read it back to me. It's probably the same thing offered by Office365, just on their server and not my local machine.

  So aparrently, the „Smart“ App Control from #Microsoft in the #Windows „Security“-Settings blocks you from installing #office365 … and you have to PERMANENTLY shut off that „Security Feature“ to fix this issue … fml why did i go into IT-Support 🙈😭

  @FurkanGozukara I stopped giving money to companies I can't call. In July 2024, Microsoft expected me to go a month without email. I don't own a cell phone, email is my communication with the world. I cancelled Office 365, moved my mx records for my domain and went down to $1.50 a month.

  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.

  @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.

  @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)

  @davibaah @Mr_GeorgeAddo @NITAGhana They don’t even dedicated servers built and managed by the gov. let alone have infrastructure to protect sensitive and critical data… tweaa… imagine NITA ( the nation’s IT branch using subscription of office365). What happened to on-premise and dedicated exchange server?

  @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?

  @Trace_Cohen The long tail uses of AI are enormous. There are so many things that open self-hosted models enable that are off the table with centralized controlled models. Think of *nix on satellites, rather than them phoning Redmond for a license renewal, as an illustrative example. I already see a higher exponential growth in brains investing in open models than frontier models. Similar to how when I worked at Microsoft, the best were all using *nix and *** at home. It will only hang on to the frontier if it can government capture. Now that's a huge possibility, perhaps even greater than 50%. I mean Microsoft's software is terrible, (Windows, Azure, Office 365), and yet crushes it because of gov capture. It would be financially reckless to short without accurately modeling that risk. But in a free market, open >> closed.

  I am really disappointed in @Apple Business. They finally launch a cloud platform for business mail, but you can’t set up a user mailbox if it was previously used in iCloud+ custom email domains?? I’m being told that it’s not just a 30 day wait, I will never be able to set those mailboxes up. And there’s no user aliases, no multi-domain email support. No multi-tenant offerings (not that I expect that yet). I get that it’s still in its infancy, but come on. These are basic features and they worked with the personal side. I found a way to create user groups with emails that seemed like a workaround to still get mail that’s addressed to these inboxes, but then I found out that they can only be emailed to internally from the same domain. Apple policies are blocking external senders. I spoke to four different support reps over 3+ hours yesterday and they don’t even understand this issue or how to fix it. They keep asking about where the domain is registered when it is clearly an issue deep within Apple systems at a very high level that needs to be changed. I didn’t like the Office 365 integration with the Apple ecosystem, which is why I was so excited for this. But not having access to my mailboxes and not even being able to implement a workaround IS A MAJOR ISSUE. What’s going on @tim_cook? How could this have shipped like this?

  @aakashgupta 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.

  @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.

  @PrimeAeon @Doctorthe113 @DevLeaderCa curious if you are able to comment on the server load of Office 365.

  7 clicks on average just to read an email? Office 365 needs a serious UX overhaul. Terrible customer service. No chat available someone call you from India next day. #office365

  @EvaAnanova Bro i remember I got put on a migration from a file server to office 365 and share point and this was a key reason I left IT. My manager refused to listen to anyone and forced us to go ahead with this just before Christmas. It didn't work 90% of the machines had 4gb ram
