Comment on Ask: Why does everything Microsoft create lately feel fragile and half-baked?

I just helped setup a new O365 account and joined Win 11 machines to Entra (Cloud Active directory) for a company.

Total mess. The cloud services each had partial outages where I was met with "Data not available at this time" or various errors. At first I thought I was holding it wrong, but no, hours or even a day later things that didn't work suddenly worked. Going forward if I hit a wall I take a break, try again later and it works.

I am no MS fan but the integration of Win11 and O365/Azure seems to be headed in the right direction but the execution is a total mess. One beef is OneDrive integration is an idiotic duality as its not a "drive" and given special treatment by office apps such as only allowing auto save when saving to Onedrive.

MS, get your shit together.
