  @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.

  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.

  @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.

  @bretgreenstein @KarolCodes Agreed. Historically, things moved at a slow enough pace that there was ample time to reasonably estimate the cost of an associate's tech stack. The value obtained from that stack was self-evident, exceeding its cost. For example, no rational firm was doing an ROI on whether a new associate should have a PC or an Office 365 license. It was table stakes. In this new AI world, both the costs and the potential value are radically changing on a routine basis. It makes it that much harder to have sound and stable financial governance models.

  @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).

  Dear @Flipkart, it's been over 4 months and my issue is still unresolved. You sold me "Microsoft Office 365 Professional Plus – Lifetime Validity", but the seller activated it using an organization account that is now unusable. Instead of resolving the issue, your team keeps asking for an impossible letter from Microsoft. I need a replacement or refund. Order ID: OD328524328820318100 #Flipkart #ConsumerRights

  Passwords get stolen. MFA prompts get approved. Rob Allen explains why some organizations are now locking SaaS apps like Office 365, GitHub, and Salesforce to specific trusted IP paths instead of exposing login access to the entire internet. Even if an attacker has credentials, they still can’t connect unless traffic comes from the approved location. Is location-based access control becoming the next layer after MFA? #Cybersecurity #SaaS #IdentitySecurity

  @ToddHagopian @Dream4Liberty @ChaseForLiberty They did not ask to spend $40k to tell them the system they built was broken instead of the $10k to fix it, lol. They did not ask Angela to hire Buchkovich so that there was no oversight, kill Burns' contract, then spend more than $100k killing the CiviCRM that money had just been spent on for Zoho, which is worse in every conceivable way. The destruction of everything that Moellman and Burns built happened at the end of 2023. Those IT costs listed are from the work to tear down Civi and Zoho, not the total IT costs. ONLY the intentionally doubled (because Angela, who never used Civi, decided it had to die) costs or TRIPLED costs (like with LPMail, Gmail, and Office365). I've been here 25 years, Todd. I watched what happened with the IS committee. You can be defensive about this, but you weren't the one being pointed at as a problem by Amanda or by me. You're taking facts personally, which isn't like you. Believe what you want.

  @YTJustGetATesla My current gripe is Microsoft Office 365 which i have to use at work for shared documents, its slow as f., can even grind to a halt when just adding a row to a excel sheet. I use libreoffice when doing anything that isnt onedrive shared.

  @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.

  @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.

  "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.

  @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?

  @OrevaZSN Why would anyone be trying to edit a PDF in Word? Edit it in Acrobat, where it belongs. And Word isn't a DTP app. Some of us know how to use it very well and don't have these issues. Not saying Office 365 isn't a hell hole, but at least use the right app for the job at hand

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

  @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.

  @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.

  @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.

  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.

  @Microsoft - You make it IMPOSSIBLE to login and cancel an Office 365 business subscription to Visio. I have been hung up on no fewer than three times by your AI assistant midway through my support call. I cannot log in because, while my business Office365 account exists in my Authenticator app, no code or request to approve ever appears. Endless loop of no help. Calling support and being forced to have a converation with the AI assistant is futile. It just hangs up for no reason before the issue is addressed. No ticket number, nothing. I have directed American Express to block future charges for the subscription. I will contact my state attorney general's office if this is not resolved.
