Mind that “free” doesn’t quite exists here; companies would need to administrer those (not so offline) solutions. And it’s unlikely that all small business will suddently hire IT guys for that. So what’s the alternative? Back to small unmaintained servers under the office desk configured by the owner’s cousin and never maintained? In these times it’s going to be a shit-show given how more intense vulnerabilities or miss configurations are exploited…
From my point of vue there’s no good solution here.
I still don’t know what is the problem for small bisunesses to simply use offline locally installed office software, and why everything must be on the cloud. They often have a single person working on each document anyway
I’m not quite sure how that was effectively affected ; we still have hard clients for those at work and they were still working. Minus Visio for which, thanks costs restrictions, we have only in the online version and that was ded.
So we’re Copilot, power apps, forms…
Hoping that a few companies decide to migrate to free offline solutions after that

Well the top affected service was mail so hardly an offline service ;)
Oh, I thought it was the entire 365 suite…

Hahaha.
Ha.
Hahahahaha.
Yeah no. No one ever got fired for going with Microsoft. It’s costly to migrate, and you’d get fired for a 20 minute outage.
No one got ever fired yet. If this is a serious slop issue, this can take weeks, even for someone with a massive developer base.
