  @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)

  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 🙈😭

  @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.

  @arinwaichulis Out of office replies reveal the address. When you say bounced emails reveal the source email; what do you mean by this? As in the mail server rejects it? Eg office 365 exchange online?

  @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.

  @peach2k2 @B1rtek1 Same. You have to go to office 365 logout and then sign in again. This is inhumane UX!

  @Office365 I am very much frustrated and really very much disappointed with my account of Microsoft 365 account. I am got stuck in loop of authentication MFA For asking help also login required. And how could any one login if authentication is not working.

  @RihardJarc Half of its market value is office 365. So you can cut that segment in half, thus reducing its market cap by 25%. I think that segment's going to go down even more

  @KES537 Office 365 email had these suggested replies. When the lady at my work that always emailed me about problems with the software I work on would send me a new problem, I really wanted to click: Let me know how that works out.

  @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.

  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.

  @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.

  @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).

  @12Knocksinna @Office365 The annoying part IMO is that we had perfectly function PowerShell cmdlets that were efficient and solved problems in single lines that have now been replaced by tomes of graph documentation, the horrors of the mggraph wrapper, authorization scopes, and a million other points of annoyance. The majority of M365 admins are not developers and will not take up learning how to write their own tools in their free time to perform basic administrative tasks.

  @gabefollower Those lawsuits from those companies are straight up retarded. They claim Valve is monopoly and then in next sentence they say that 30% cut is too much. What they think will happen if Valve lowers it to like 15%. Consumers will choose Steam less? Hell no, they will like Steam even more then. As a result those companies will cry wolf even more that Steam is monopoly. Competition offers trash service, tries to bait with discounts and loses and them cries like babies. C’mon now. Epic owner cries every day about Valve and Steam and his “Game Launcher” is still mega slow and looks more like launcher for Office 365 than game launcher.

  @Microsoft365 To use Scout, you need: 1. to be part of the Frontier Preview Program 2. need Office 365 Copilot Access 3. need local admin privileges on the device 4. your IT Admin needs to configure Frontier. 5. your IT Admin needs to configure InTune policy for Scout 6. your local IT Admin needs to agree to (attest to) and opt-in their organisation to third party inference paths. Note: "When data is sent to GitHub Copilot, M365 data residency, retention, eDiscovery, legal hold, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Sensitivity and Confidentiality Labels, audit, SLAs, and the Customer Copyright Commitment do not apply." Here is why this matters: If 'AI' extracts a list of sensitive intellectual property or customer data from a labeled document and pastes it into a new response, that new response has no label. A user could easily copy and paste that text into an external email or a public generative AI tool without triggering any data loss prevention alerts. Regulatory frameworks require strict auditing of where sensitive data travels. Because the new content does not inherit the source classification, your automated compliance systems lose track of that data. The responsibility shifts entirely to the end user to manually classify every single output generated by the AI session, which frequently leads to human error.

  The software industry seems to be in cahoots with one another. I suspect subscribed to Office365 through @GoDaddy so no matter how much trouble I have with @GoDaddy trying to access my email account, @Microsoft is completely unwilling and unable help.

  @kmcnam1 MS Office 365 is a SCAM and now this! I don’t use AI agents even though I’m a senior developer at a large banking institution. I don’t see a use case considering AI still too slow to respond.

  @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.

  @reset_by_peer I'm sure if you removed revenue from pre-existing products where companies crammed in AI without any demand for it and against the user base's general will, just so said companies could claim that revenue was from AI now (products like MS Office 365), actual revenue from explicitly AI products being used by consumers who explicitly want it, would be a rounding error on a rounding error.

  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.

  @EricRichards22 I send my LibreOffice docs and spread sheets to Google doc/sheets users, Office365 users, and OpenOffice users without any problems. And I can open and edit their files. What issues are you having?
