That’s the thing from the customer IT perspective. When your Microsoft-administered systems go down at the same time as the rest of the world, nobody blames the CTO or any of the sysadmins. The global outage becomes an acknowledgement that it’s not their fault, so nobody in the company actually gets blamed, and nobody gives them a hard time.
It might not result in more uptime, but it does mean that any downtime doesn’t get pinned on them.
I think it goes even further than that. The thinking is that if the professionals at Microsoft can’t even figure this out, how are our in-house sysadmins going to keep a system on line, or deal with it when something bad happens? The possibility of incompetence at Microsoft simply never enters consideration.
The answer has been staring us in the face and laughing at us.
It’s on-prem.
They’re in the middle of massive fraud to price us out of doing so.
All of these calls are being made from inside the house.
The answer is, you will own nothing, and fuck you wait a little bit until it’s profitable for us to make more profit.
We either burn them down or they burn us down. We have a lot of means we haven’t tried yet. Organize. No matter the next option, the first step is organize.
If you think this will finally bring about a reckoning, let me point out that Microsoft’s stock price is up on the day.

Well, right. Because it proved to investors how much of the world uses Microsoft’s products.
Whether or not it is a good product is of no relevance.
