  @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.

  Microsoft Threat Intelligence (@MsftSecIntel) reported 5 minutes ago

  Microsoft Threat Intelligence has identified a cluster of compromised websites displaying ClickFix lures and using EtherHiding, a technique associated with the ClearFake campaign. An injected Base64-encoded JavaScript contacts a BNB Smart Chain RPC gateway to query a smart contract previously reported in connection with ClearFake to fetch next-stage instructions. Content stored in a smart contract is resistant to conventional takedown or sinkholing because only the owner of the cryptocurrency wallet that deployed it can make changes. Users are presented with a fake CAPTCHA that instructs them to open the Windows Run dialog, paste clipboard content, and press Enter to execute an attacker-supplied command under the guise of verification. We’re seeing multiple forms of command obfuscation and living-off-the-land abuse, including conhost, cmd, PowerShell, pcalua, mshta, rundll32, msiexec, curl, WMI, WebDAV, and scheduled tasks. Carets split keywords, environment variables hide interpreters, and Windows run headlessly or minimized. TerminalFix lures apply the same technique but direct users to Windows Terminal or PowerShell instead of the Run dialog. This campaign demonstrates that ClickFix and TerminalFix are a high-volume initial access technique. Microsoft reports campaigns targeting thousands of enterprise and consumer devices globally every day, while some malvertising chains can funnel visitors to scam pages. Numerous actors use the technique to deliver Lumma Stealer and other infostealers, RATs such as Xworm and AsyncRAT, loaders including MintsLoader, and remote management tools. A single successful execution can expose credentials, establish persistence, enable lateral movement, and create a path to human-operated ransomware and potential domain compromise. Microsoft recommends that organizations enable Microsoft Defender network, web, and cloud-delivered protection; restrict Run and command-line tools where not required; enable PowerShell script-block logging; and implement application control. Users should never paste commands from CAPTCHAs, browser errors, emails, ads, or unsolicited support pages into Run, Terminal, PowerShell, or Command prompt. Microsoft Defender XDR provides layered protection across the ClickFix attack chain. Defender SmartScreen and Defender for Office 365 help block malicious sites, links, attachments, and fake CAPTCHA lures, while Defender for Endpoint detects suspicious command execution and outbound connections through alerts like “Suspicious command in RunMRU registry”, “Possible ClickFix activity”, “Possible initial access from an emerging threat”. Microsoft Defender Antivirus blocks malicious command execution using detections such as Trojan:Win32/ClickFix.* and Trojan:Win32/TermFix.*. Treat these alerts as evidence of a potential initial access incident: isolate affected devices, investigate credential exposure and persistence, and hunt for related activity.

  @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!

  @signulll I used to think MSFT was oversold, but I now think they have a major issue. Office 365 is not agent friendly, the OS is from a different era. Teams is a disgrace.

  @tomhounsell @Chris123NT I'm kinda surprised that office365 still lets me host my domain and forward to my exchange server. But it's still a PITA some services just plain refuse to send to MSFT for no reason (Amazon 3fa) but I get all their ****** Amazon ads ..

  @OneNote In the OneNote app for Office 365 under Windows 10, somebody broke the 'copy link to paragraph' functionality. Intead of pasting a hsort clean link, it pastes the *entire URL'. This is broken, it works in the Windows 10 app btw. (But my notebook does nto work in the Windows 10 app. And the error happens in 'smaller' and 'neater' notebooks as well in the 365 app for Win10.)

  @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.

  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 🙈😭

  @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.

  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.

  @codewith55 Your first step for a new Windows computer is not what to install, but what to uninstall. 1) OneDrive 2) MS-Account (use local login) 3) Copilot 4) Office365 5) Manufacturer & MS Bloatware. Then start your installs. 1) A real browser (Brave, Firefox) 2) LibreOffice 3) VLC

  @adahstwt Just deployed a small app for one of my company’s franchisees to use. Deployed on Azure because we use Office 365 and I could rely on existing MS accounts for auth. Never again… terrible experience. Azure is so disjointed…

  @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.

  @pitdesi Yeah I was there was there for 2 years at the Mountain View campus one of them being the year he took over as CEO (2014) before moving to Apple in Cupertino. At the time many folks in the company didn’t like how he was deprioritizing a lot of Windows stuff like Windows phone and prioritizing Azure/Cloud and Office 365 running well on mobile (iOS, Android) and web. He was the head of Azure before becoming CEO so not too surprising imo. Also the switch to use Linux for networking layer OS software stack in Azure data centers over Windows Server and wearing the infamous “Microsoft Heart Linux” T-Shirt. All of which were clearly the right moves now but at the time in various lunch room discussions there was a lot of dissent and people thinking he would fail. But now all those dissenters seem to pretend he played no role in Microsoft’s comeback which is amusing. But since I saw it happening first hand and in real time I knew otherwise. I was a skeptic too because I had been raised culturally with the same biases and prejudice that Asians (using Asian in the broad U.S. Census definition) can’t make successful innovative decisions and thus can’t be good CEOs, sadly my own parents use to think that which shows the colonial mindset (even Malaysia was a former British colony) but clearly now we know that’s not 100% true with various success stories. It depends on the individual as it always has. I’m sure there are plenty of bad Indian ethnicity CEOs as there are from any ethnic group in the world, But Nadella is probably one of the overall best CEOs in the world of any race or ethnicity.

  @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

  @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.

  @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.

  Silk Typhoon (HAFNIUM), a Chinese 🇨🇳 state APT, has evolved from on-prem Exchange exploitation to cloud-native supply chain attacks, most recently abusing CVE-2025-3928 in Commvault's Azure-hosted M365 backup SaaS to pivot into downstream customer tenants. - Initial access spans three vectors: CVE-2025-3928 (zero-day in Commvault Web Server, T1190), stolen API keys from privileged cloud vendors (T1195), and leaked corporate credentials found on public repos like GitHub (T1078.004). The Commvault campaign gave them client secrets for Metallic M365 backups, opening direct paths into customer M365 environments via hijacked service principals. - Lateral movement pivots from on-prem to cloud by targeting Entra Connect servers (T1210, T1078.002), enabling privilege sync between Active Directory and Entra ID. Credential dumping and key vault theft support pass-the-hash moves (T1550.002) into Azure. - Persistence relies on adding passwords to existing consented service principals or creating new Entra ID applications named to mimic legitimate Office 365 services (T1098.001, T1036). Web shells handle C2 on compromised Azure VMs (T1505.003). - Collection targets email via EWS and MSGraph APIs, plus SharePoint (T1213.002) and OneDrive (T1213.003), all through OAuth apps with admin consent, a low-noise, API-native exfiltration path that bypasses many endpoint controls. #DFIR_Radar

  @esrtweet I think Excel is the grand bottleneck, or was last I checked. Imagine trying to switch a bank, say your local credit union, over to LibreOffice or any of the StarOffice lineage. Doable in principle, but realistically all the macros are broken (the version of BASIC differs from Excel) and the median banker doesn't have muscle memory for the new keyboard shortcuts anyway. You can obviously use Office 365 from a browser, but you lose access to some features (again, last I checked) and it's still Microsoft. Linux is absolutely fine for everything I use it for. The problem is mostly just lack of attention on things that people who have already adopted it don't themselves need. Window Manager wise, there are several where it's hard to tell the difference between that and Windows or MacOS (or the difference is ~entirely good things).
