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.

Open to malicious actors, because of all the bugs.

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.

I did not need that image in my head right now

Shit, I came here to say the same.

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.

Most open to “enhancing your operating system experience with special offers and promotional materials”!

Calibri isn’t strong enough in it’s convictions to be Helvetica. It can’t even offer a fight against the hard utilitarianism of Arial. It’s rounded corners and varying thickness show up terribly on anything but the highest resolution screens, where it still isn’t good, and it makes me feel the same way that CRT monitors did when I put my hand up to them. You know the feeling, that crusty, fuzzy, buzzy feeling that you swear you could taste.

A nasty font, it can absolutely go fuck itself.

Aptos kerning is trash in spreadsheets.

Anal surgeons also like to beg and to differ.
