I really think we are watching Microsoft commit suicide in slow motion. It will take years but after a record number of bad decisions it will deflate into a tiny piece of crap another company purchases for cheap just for access to the brand name.

I never had a particular love of Microsoft at any point in my life but at least they had a diverse portfolio of various products from software to services to hardware of all sorts.

Now they have abandoned most of that (and continuing to abandon more with each month) as they pivot to being one of many AI-focused grift companies. They now sell bullshit, lies, fraud, and scams as their primary products.

Incredible transition into a poisoned, bloated, festering asswipe of a company that isn’t worth a moment of anyone’s time or respect.

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Outlook

Of those four, only Outlook really could have used some changes. The other three were perfected 20 years ago. And how do you improve perfection? You can only make it worse.

In a post on the Microsoft 365 Admin portal (I am glad it’s not renamed yet), the company notes that “Microsoft 365 Roadmap is becoming the AI at Work Roadmap,” as it “centralizes AI-powered innovation tracking without changing access or workflows.”

They didn’t rename a product. They renamed a roadmap to make it more general. That’s not that bad; certainly nothing worth doomposting about.

Still haven’t figured out what to do with Copilot pro we have at work.

I’m sure this new name will make it useful now.

I think you meant to say microslop, microsoft is long dead
