Well, probably not because of Bob, but their cloud based offerings have make me wonder about trust.
- Business Contact Manager for Outlook, Outlook Customer Manager
- Microsoft Invoicing, Listings etc.
And these are critical applications for a company.
Have a look at Sharepoint which is widely used and has an uncertain future. Or the strategy behind Lync, Skype and now teams.
But we'll see. Microsoft has shifted in a good way in the last couple of years but their track record in keeping legacy operating system APIs for decades is not necessarily a good indicator of the stability of their other product lines.
- jannotti 6y agoSharepoint has an uncertain future? I had never heard of it a year ago, but as I got to know the "enterprise" space, it seems every large company is heavily invested in it. What might replace the need to share documents across a company in the MS world?
- tw04 6y agoBusiness Contact manager is still fully supported - it's just not supported on the latest version of outlook. On Outlook 2010 you've got support through the end of 2020. For Outlook 2013 they haven't announced an end-of-support date yet. Microsoft Invoice has transitioned to a cloud-based product, so again, they didn't end support. You might not like the new purchasing model, but that's very much different than them burning the product to the ground. https://einvoice.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?MSIStateKey=f513d8a9-6ca5-4f6e-bdc0-3d80eb741308 https://einvoice.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?MSIStateKey=f513... Sharepoint is the backend for onedrive for business, and fully integrated in to Teams. What on earth would make you think it's going away?
