    I’m no programmer or UX designer but I can imagine what a mess things are on the dev side

      As an admin it gets so much worse. Twice a year your admin portal gets renamed, redesigned, merged with and/or split from another one, or removed, and all those changes are done halfway.
      Which means some settings are only on the old version and others only on the new. Then the old one is discontinued even though the new one doesn’t have all its functions, yet.
      So you completely rely on Powershell. But wait, there’s 2 incompatible versions of it now.

      I’m currently thinking about a career change, after reading in Microsoft’s official documentation that you need to install the new version of Powershell, import the beta version of several commandlets and then run a long script provided by them, only to keep every user on your org from creating their own Teams teams.
      And their newest feature is allowing every user to put in their credit card info and buy MS products on the company domain without running it by IT. It’s called “self service”, enabled by default, and you have to click on a slider to disable it individually for every. single. product. Microsoft. offers.

    Well Microsoft spies on every user so sure, it’s completely open to Microsoft what they do and who they are.

    We, at least in the US, are living in a “post factual” world. So this makes perfect sense. Like when my kid was small and everytime he thought he “lost” at something he would declare it Opposite Day. Fuck it, why not? M$ being the most open OS makes no sense, so it makes total sense. War is Peacetm

      Embrace, extend, and extinguish. They literally documented it as being their strategy. Now the justice department is chasing Google who despite being bad, at least provides enough source code where people have created privacy-focused derivatives of Android. I’d much rather see them go after Microsoft first but the government relies on Microsoft, and Microsoft relies on our tax dollars going to the government so they can get them.

        Kill Google, kill Apple, kill Meta, kill Amazon. I’m not sure whether killing Apple is necessary - despite their problems, they at least have an honest business model (of profiting off a cult). I think yes, split them too.

      Alt universe where MS went full fossy, the event focused on rolling release called “Open Windows”.

      Their version of the Recall is called “Skylight” and is an extension of their full local AI “Peephole”, for which a lot of companies pay specific licencing fees of the input data it is trained on (depending on their needs & quality of selection).

      Their search engine “Periscope” got some heat lately for giving users the option to display sponsored generic links.

        OpenWindows is not that. OpenWindows is the best thing ever with OpenLook. I’d really want OpenLook for 64bit Intel
