You will not believe the trick-or-treat trick Microsoft just pulled!

Before anyone mentions how reliable Google Cloud is, here's a massive outage from June this year:

And from October last year:

Oh don't worry, Azure is not having a *global* outage, just a "non-regional" one.

If you're a journalist writing about this Azure outage, don't forget to ask Microsoft how much of their code is "AI-generated".

Satya Nadella claims 30%:

> We have confirmed that an inadvertent configuration change was the trigger event for this issue.

Folks, it's all okay! It wass just an inadvertent configuration change [that happened to bring loads of services for millions of users down].

Look, this is the level of professionalism we should expect of Microsoft at this point.

They had a separate global outage of Office 365 (or whatever it's called this week) *this month* already:

And then there was the one from February this year:

Not to mention smaller ones, like the one in US-East that prevented admins from accessing the admin center:

I wonder if firing 15.000+ employees just this year had any impact here.

While Azure was down and you could not use your Office 365 for 8 (eight) hours yesterday, Microsoft gloated about record profits:

After all, Office 365 price has increased at least twice over the last 12 months:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/publicsectorblog/upcoming-changes-office-365-g1-price-increase-effective-march-2025/4385970

Price hikes were due to "AI", obviously. It's what users crave.

Your Microsoft Tax dollars at work!

Two price hikes, three major outages…

Microsoft will have to hike the price again just to keep the ratio at 1:1!
