  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.

  @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. Until now this plague has started to reveal itself into the public eye. Office 365 not working in space was just the tip of the iceberg people

  "GitHub's scale is unprecedented." No, it really isn't. GitHub: 150M total users. Office 365: 345M total users. Xbox: 500M monthly active users. Bing: 100M+ daily active users. The company that runs Office, Xbox and Bing can run GitHub. If reliability is slipping, that's a priorities problem, not a scale problem.

  Attention Lopes! Some active students aren't receiving their Office 365 license, so they can't access any of the included apps. Error message: “Error: Your school account is no longer active.” This issue is currently being looked into. Global Ticket Number: 3937295

  @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…

  @umarsaif They won't get a chance to become "real". The issue is AI Agents are removing the need for abstraction, UI and unwanted code layers. Entire office suite is now useless. Forget about office 365. Mails, comm channels will survive for sometime. Where Indian IT will contribute?

  @bestfilly @SabreWuff Corps, public sector and universities generally all purchase blanket site licenses which pushes the per seat cost of the Windows OS and Office 365 down to between 5 to 10 bucks. Also the workstations these places lease suck ***. I know, I spent years in Monash IT

  @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.

  Noticed Microsoft is still shoving stuff down our throats. I have Office 365 without the AI stuff, and noticed the app now has a diamond in the top right corner on apps which is where they push to you AI upgrades.. Just give me the app without all the extra pushed crap.

  @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.

  PrincessLeah (@ScorpionWSDBW) reported 38 minutes ago

  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.

  @cavemankin @MacRumors @waxeditorial MacOS side loads because it was grandfathered in from days before App Stores. If side loading doesn’t interfere with the integrity of iOS and is invisible to the users like me who have no interest, I have no issues. Apple native apps & Office365 is 90% of what I need.

  BORDERS LAW FIRM (@BordersLawFirm) reported 48 minutes ago

  This is insane, frustrating, and, frankly, pathetic on Microsoft's part! I am a law firm, trying to buy a Microsoft Copilot Business license. Just one $30 license for the law firm. Nope. Blocked. It's not available to my account on Office 365 Markeplace, inside my Admin account [I am the global admin] and the block seems to be due to some technical issue between MOSA and MCA accounts. I have business premium subscriptions. They are making it DIFFICULT to BUY their already market-trailing AI. Maybe I should just spend all the law firm's money on ANTHROPIC. Mircosoft, get your **** together! @Office @Copilot

  @glenn_tunes Deal! Since US companies are banned in EU: GMail immediately deletes all accounts for EU citizens and countries. Ditto Office365. YouTube immediately deletes all EU content. Google blocks access to the Play Store for EU citizens. Apple blocks all access to iCloud and other Apple services to EU accounts and deletes all data. AWS immediately deletes all EU accounts and shut down all the EU regions. Ditto Azure. Cloudflare bans all EU IPs. Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Micron, Texas Instruments, Cisco, Qualcomm, IBM, Dell, and other US hardware companies ban sales of systems and components to the EU. Every major AI provider blocks access to EU citizens and companies. Major SaaS companies, including major manufacturing software providers like Autodesk and Onshape, block access to their products from the EU. Basically the EU accomplishes it's goal to become a 3rd world country overnight without the hassle of importing the 3rd world first.

  @DoWhatYouDo6 I thought they: 1. were serious about developing the next-gen XBOX console with AMD which was codenamed Project Magnus under the leadership of Sarah Bond. 2. the cost of RAM and SSDs skyrocketed so its specification was unaffordable and Satya Nadella quietly cancelled Project Magnus, but expected Sarah to lie to the community that they were still manufacturing hardware, to buy their engineers time to work on Windows 12 X and then have OEM bring out PCs that conformed to the Windows 12 X reference specification, that requires the AMD Magnus SoC which does Path Tracing. The initial spec. was 48 GB GDDR7 RAM which was probably for the dev kit, and since they are talking about using Neural Texture compression they might only need 32 GB for retail. However, this PC could cost as much as $4,000 and it would outperform self-builds that are $10,000 so that price, whilst unaffordable for XBOTs, is value for money for a consumer who is wealthy and could afford to buy more software, but realistically will tend to only play a couple of games (e.g. their Microsoft Flight Simulator, or Forza Horizon 6), so Microsoft need to get them through monetisation, although their real concern is to ensure a sale of Windows so that they don't lose customers of their Office 365 GroupWare to Linux business software, which could happen through SteamOS installs and not necessarily the Steam Machine itself. That is why Satya Nadella still bothers with gaming at all, because they need it as a Trojan Horse for their increasingly dog **** Operating System, which you won't notice is literal malware (spyware) because you spend most of your time in XBOX Mode that it lets you boot your computer straight into so the Operating System is kinda moot. Sarah Bond resigned because she had too much integrity to lie to XBOX fans. This pissed them off so she wasn't mentioned in their memo. 3. Asha was brought in by Satya to "acclimate" consumers on XBOX (on a variety of platforms and devices) to Copilot AI via the Gaming Copilot service. That backfired and consumers did not want that. Asha listened and "listening" characterised everything she did including Twitter polls to let fans choose: Xbox or XBOX and have a premature 25 anniversary showcase as they can't wait until 25th November 2026 to do that showcase. Maybe Phil Spencer will show up at an event in November and have a "rose tinted spectacle" nostalgic history of everything good that took place over 25 years (leaving out RRoD and DRM), but I doubt it. So, Asha was renaming Magnus to Helix with the justification it had Gaming Copilot integration, but it has lost that now, so what distinguishes it as a "project". It may be that she is talking about using AI to help port XBOX GDK code to their unified Windows GDK (so developers with PC make their games for Windows and there is no need to port what they make to XBOX or have an XBOX dev kit as the XBOX is a PC because Asha changed Microsoft Gaming to XBOX so all XBOX refers to is their games, services and microtransactions and not necessarily any console hardware at all). You then get the promotion of the AMD partnership at GDC 2026 and their commitment to Cross Progression and it becomes obvious that they are tripling down on encouraging their XBOX users with real money who are good customers who actually buy games (and aren't petulant whiny babies demanding all AAAs are Day One in GAME PASS and don't buy games through this service like Fatal Mephisto but rent everything for as long as it is available), to migrate to Windows 12 X. 4. Asha has said no one wants to pay $2000 for a console, so that led to speculation that they would imitate Google Stadia (only rent all the software/servers) and play on a Samsung TV without need of a console, but that requires an investment in racks of servers that need to be fully utilised to be economic, so unless they do something wild and buy Netflix my bet is on no next-gen XBOX console and expensive Windows 12 X PCs.

  @asaio87 SaaS isn’t dead , but certain SaaS products that aren’t complex and that don’t have risk associated with them will be , and the rest will be open for disruption, especially on price. Not unlike when I automated the backend network/server/os/app layer of office 365 for Microsoft a decade plus ago , allowing them to reduce the per seat cost like 50% or something crazy.

  I wonder how much productivity the entire world economy has lost just from Microsoft products not working as intended. Freelancing for a new company, and they gave me my first Office 365 email that I've ever had to deal with on a professional basis. Within the first 2 hours, it's not even working and won't let me send emails. I'll take "things that would never happen with Gmail" for $500.
