This article from Windows Central came up the other day and it sums up a lot of the current issues with the consumer side of Microsoft, not necessarily on the Azure or Office 365 sides. Obviously, short term gains are most publicly traded companies primary concern, but Microsoft is no longer playing the long game on its core products and services, and it is starting to erode trust in the company. Overall, a good read and worth the time to go through it.

I found a useful resource a few days ago that lists all the known/major Microsoft Administration Portals on a single website. While it is a great resource, it also represents a lot of the frustrations that I have with Microsoft’s online services and how administrators are expected to manage them.
