It is frankly obnoxious that portal.office.com now redirects to a Copilot page with no direct link to Outlook, Word, etc. (you know, Office...).

You can get to Outlook under "Apps" - silly me for not immediately understanding the UI change.

Show threaddraeathJun 23
@alexgabbz @malwarejake plenty of other tools out there that do that task just as well, if not better.

@malwarejake Microsoft board, maybe: "Look, we cannot get people to buy this thing, so lets just change everything to point to it so that we have numbers that make it look like people are using it. Who cares if it breaks years long workflows, documented processes, common practices, or everybody's guidances"

@malwarejake I just went to that URL and literally laughed out loud for like 5 seconds. The support calls this must be generating...

@malwarejake Hur Hur Hur... this change is having a hilarious impact where I work.

Our Internet Gateway provider has designated Copilot as AI, and our Internet Gateway settings are to restrict people from being able to browse to services marked as AI unless explicitly allowed.

So many support tickets coming in 🤣
I've told the team responsible for the IG to just allow Copilot on the default policy, but they're being adamant that they shouldn't allow it (I've no idea why...) despite us *giving* certain people Copilot licences.

Let the #enshittification continue. Thanks for nothing, Microsoft. Take Copilot and shove it where the sun don't shine.

@malwarejake these are the same people who renamed MS Office to MS 365 Copilot

I recommend looking for alternatives before rather than later :-)

@malwarejake

I've started using my apps.microsoft.com, it's not the same as the portal was but it's also not copilot.

Don't get me wrong, copilot is our approved AI offering and I do use it, but it's not my main tool and I don't want it in my face all the time.
