Says a lot that we just launched four people to the moon in a somewhat lightly tested rocket, and so far the least reliable part of it has been the Microsoft desktop software
@jalefkowit It’s because you can’t open Windows in space. ;)
@jalefkowit TOILET.
@PKYo That’s what I call Microsoft Outlook too
@jalefkowit @PKYo I’ll be right back, I have to send an email
@PKYo @jalefkowit they fixed the toilet, no-one has fixed Outlook yet

@fishidwardrobe @PKYo @jalefkowit yep; you can even see the not-quite-live-updated-but-still-reasonably-current status of the toilet at the top of:

@fishidwardrobe @PKYo @jalefkowit for the rest of my life, whenever a toilet becomes available and ready for use, i will indicate this by saying "toilet is go"

@jalefkowit oh, but M is a big company, they will pay and help if something's going wrong, won't they?
Why rely on other solutions?
Why not entrust them with the whole mission?

That's the attitude of every manager and shareholder

@jalefkowit IMHO #MicroSlop's #Govware belongs outlawed and only archived on @vxunderground / @VXShare

@jalefkowit

Where is Ralph Krandon now?

@jalefkowit Beats me that the astronauts agreed to launch with that crap being used.
@jalefkowit Part of me wishes we could pin a flaky Outlook on their dealings with Altman, but no. Microsoft earned this reputation decades ago, all on their own.
