    It’s been like this for quite a while now. Also, office.com brings you straight to the copilot prompt, because who would want office for anything else?

    This is burning an unbelievably valuable brand in the furnace to power a train that’s already on fire.

      Stupid ‘copilot app’ makes it harder to find anything and adds clicks to get to any particular office app.
      Open office.ms.com and click Excel from a grid of applicationsand files? No. It opens to a 95% empty page with a search bar. God dammit.

    Never thought I’d see the day where Microsoft would strongly support adoption of open source software

    It’s like watching someone pour gas over themselves and light a match. Horrifying yet you can’t look away.

    Microsoft? More like Macroslop. I don‘t know what their execs are high on but it‘s definitely not their own products. I bet they haven‘t even touched a keyboard in years by how little they understand the needs of their users.

      Odds are security is not able to fight this fight.

      The MSA with Microsoft will say something along the lines of data will not leave the corporate boundary. And that will be sufficient - because Microsoft has assumed the risk.

        Am in a company that is extremely risk averse. And I can confirm that you are spot on and we now have the slop machines built in. Everywhere.

    Microslop does have a strong pattern of going all-in on terrible decisions and completely ignoring customer backlash until it gets bad enough that the board of directors finally notices and the “visionary” moron in charge who keeps trying to force that bad idea down everyone’s throats gets finally replaced way too late. But not before being given a golden parachute because at that level, incompetence is still rewarded.
