As a help desk worker, I am starting to get tired of Microsoft's bullshit.
Try something new and it doesn't work out? Fine. That's reasonable.
But can we stop breaking what was already working?
This is what happens with innovation when only monopolies are left on the board.
Name an industry, it’s the same. But here’s the dog shit. You still have to give shareholders returns. When you ran out of shit to innovate like 25 years ago, ran out of companies to buy 10 years ago, and already captured the regulatory bodies. Congrats it’s game over.
Except it’s never game over. Just squeeze one side til the toothpaste runs out.

The corp I'm working at moved to Outlook Web.
It's so hostile about downloading attachments through anything but OneDrive it's comical.
Every fucking version displays our HTML email signatures differently.

So, we can expect more security breaches?
Microsoft: Move along .. Nothing to see here.
All of Microsoft office products haven't changed for the good in more than a decade. I still use office 2007 on my personal desktop and 90% of the features and buttons are in the same spot as the current office 365 offering.
Only thing that is an improvement is live collaboration, but that's getting constantly screwed up by one drive sucking ass.
The good news is that Outlook doesn't confuse anybody who hasn't used it in years (or never). Last time I did was when I worked at MS. Hasn't been a problem since.
Bullshit, new outlook is total garbage. I dragged a folder inside a folder in the left column and it fucking disappeared. Had to revert back to classic, otherwise folder was in a black hole. Plus other issues like plugins.
I install classic on every computer I setup now.

I'm pretty happy with Thunderbird on all my devices. It's not quite perfect, but it's hard to make an argument that Outlook is better. It'd have to be a very specific use case I think.
Why are Microsoft employees so fucking stupid?
8 thousand executives making product decisions from the top down and trying to cram every facet of the business into every other product.
