At our core, Microsoft is the productivity and platform company for the mobile-first and cloud-first world. Across Microsoft, we will obsess over reinventing productivity and platforms. This transformation is well underway as we moved Office from the desktop to a service with Office 365 and our solutions from individual productivity to group productivity tools – both to the delight of our customers. lol their customers must be so delighted by yearly subscriptions for word processors and spreadsheets

the other fun thing about office 365 is that microsoft doesn't support anything past its mainstream support phase, so one of the companies we support that basically spent a fuckton of money on licenses back in 2007 but not a dime since got to go through the whole "well, your complicated-as-gently caress calendar sharing mess doesn't work in outlook 2007 anymore, and microsoft support basically told us to gently caress ourselves; you need a newer version of office but they only sell 2013 which doesn't work on your old-as-gently caress xp computers so you can either buy new computers and new licenses or use the web access, which we can't guarantee will continue working much longer from xp's ie8 either" i think they're using the web access

 but seriously, they're legally prohibited from having some data stored outside of canada. hilariously, no matter how many times we tell them that means they can't use dropbox, they keep loving doing it.
