There is something about Microsoft specifically where they are just willing to leave absolutely broken systems in production and just refuse to acknowledge it or care in the slightest.
Each of the FAANG members seems to have their own signature failure mode and this is theirs, whereas it seems like apple google are more likely to make working software and then just block you out of it because they don't care. While I don't find Microsoft to be the most unlikable they do seem to be by a long margin the least competent.

- lazide 5y agoI see you have no Oracle products on your critical path? If so, you would think Microsoft was only middle of the road this way.
- aksss 5y agoRight? These comments also make me think there are no Adobe customers here.
- jiggawatts 5y agoIn the middle of a pandemic with many people working from home, Microsoft flat refuses to acknowledge that all of their VPN products have throughputs limited to about 10-50 Mbps. This includes not just DirectAccess and AlwaysOn VPN, but also their Azure VPN stack as well. I've never seen any MS VPN protocol crack 100 Mbps, even when using 1 Gbps fibre connections on both ends. We have customers getting ~1.5 Mbps effective in typical scenarios. There are thousands of forum posts about this, with many referencing support tickets, etc... The response from Microsoft is radio silence.
- moepstar 5y ago>>>they are just willing to leave absolutely broken systems in production and just refuse to acknowledge it or care in the slightest. I mean, why would they care? At the rate companies are buying into their eco-system, willingly making them dependant for ages... What would happen if they fix all their crap, getting their act together? Most probably: nothing - since all their broken-ness can't seem to slow down adoption, why would fixing it increase it?
- Stevvo 5y agoIt's an internal issue also; Microsoft employees/contractors/partners all need to log in to their account to get work done.
