  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.

  @marcelhaasIO @MaxBrodeurUrbas @satyanadella All my accounts use the same email and sometimes different passwords. The average user does not know he needs to save the credentials as “azure login”, “office 365 login”, “exchange admin login”. Dude it’s a mess.

  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.

  @moshymiss @JesterJum I run it on Zorin OS, but I also have a Windows 10 box running Libre Office. Runs flawlessly on both. Try it, you won't be disappointed. You can always uninstall it if you don't like it. Although, honestly, I can't fathom why anyone wouldn't like it. All of my work documents are generated by corporate Office 365. I've never had a problem working with any of those documents in Libre Office.

  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.

  @mistressdivy Lots of problems with OneDrive but the problem is not OneDrive. It was Microsoft's demand that Windows 11 or Office 365(have not really dug in yet) defaults to your one drive. This causes problems.

  @12Knocksinna @Office365 I’m assuming that’s because this was used to create nested dynamic group membership that caused too many support issues?

  @domster @bradgessler Our biggest are by far the ones that support our PowerPoint for Office 365 add-in. Places where you have a JavaScript API where it’s impossible for it to be managed on the server.

  @clnuponaisle5 Most cloud services let you upload encrypted data to. I use OneDrive because the Office 365 subscription gives 1tb of storage space and integrates with the Windows OS really well. I encrypt my files before uploading and it has no problems.

  @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.

  @MicrosoftIndia Appears you are registered as a gaming entity leading to additional charges by banks for office 365 subscriptions... How is it valid for the consumer? Should @Microsoft not fix the way the tax code for the entity? Or discount those charges (+GST) to the consumer?

  @therahul4402 What's happening with Linux Mint? Windows 11 happened. I did not have serious issues with Windows 10. Log into your MS account..harder and harder local options. All your personal and IP and Work Product files have to be on Onedrive. Copilot. Sales push for Office 365, when anyone with a brain has been using OS for decades. Edge harassment. Poison Updates . Slinking to subscriptions. Eternal cash flow. GFYS with a road flare.

  @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.

  @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!

  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?

  @FinanceDirCFO But rather "subprime AI", right? SaaS stocks go down because people don't get business, and think that Dropbox, LinkedIn, Spotify, Office 365, Slack, Netflix, Instagram etc. will go out of business simply because "anyone can vibe code their own version".

  @grayzoneintel I used to use ther legacy office 365 custom domain email (old OWA and domain control panel) They even blocked important emails from seagate lyve cloud when I was getting it setup and the poor rep and her team worked hours to try to get me to get the login confimation and they even manually tried to send it and it still was rejected by microslop's servers. so I quickly switched to zoho email for my custom domain and got the important confimation email with no problem.
