The closest comparison to SharePoint is probably a combination of Zoho Connect, Zoho WorkDrive, and Zoho Flow. Zoho's office suite also integrates with WorkDrive and has collaborative editing. They even have a desktop app for Writer. E

The issue isn’t Windows vs Linux. It’s an application security exploit and it just so happens that it only runs on Windows. SharePoint Server is widely used and is a high value target. Atlassian Server products have had their fair share of

Canonical and Red Hat have certified hardware. Most corporate workers aren’t software developers. They just want their productivity suite for email, scheduling, messaging, documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

It’s been pretty consistent with how macOS MDM works with device profiles. The software to manage provisioning of device profiles may have changed, but at the OS level it hasn’t.

Do these companies support Net 30/60/90 payment? Do they provide enterprise support? There’s a reason why corporations use HP and Dell machines. And there’s a reason why HP/Dell/etc don’t have Linux OSes on their corpora

CORRECTION: Chats are only journaled to Exchange mailboxes for data compliance. Messages are actually stored in Cosmos DB. https://youtu.be/V6B4KraD-FM?feature=shared&t=319 Contacts and voicemail are stored in Exchange.

Yeah. Once you start working with the SharePoint API and Exchange API, you realize how it’s a miracle that Teams works at all. It’s bonkers. I once figured out that you can go to the permissions page on the SharePoint site created by Teams

It’s impossible to stop using M365 while stopping usage of SharePoint (cloud or on-premises). See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44640219 Here’s just one example: Each M365 Teams Team creates an M365 Group which creat

For collaborative documentation, there’s probably a bunch of alternatives. But SharePoint is the linchpin for Microsoft 365. Well technically SharePoint and Exchange. You can’t use any Microsoft 365 products without SharePoint. OneDrive us

Oh yeah. I'm not saying otherwise. Someone replied "Clear glass blocks about 5% visible light". I guess "clear glass" is pretty subjective. At what level of attenuation would someone consider glass not clear? xD

It’s insane to think that an extension with the ability to snoop on all your requests is more privacy oriented than one that can’t. It’s insane to want extensions to snoop on all your requests in an attempt at more privacy.
