  1. Re:We've had nothing but problems with o365 migrat on Office 365 Growth Opportunity 'a Lot Bigger Than Anything We've Achieved', Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Says (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    We migrated to Office 365 last week. Most people still can't read email despite the fact we hired someone Microsoft recommended to help. The company is named SkyKick, and their office is near us here in Seattle. They were nice enough to send someone to our office to try to help, but I don't think they've been able to get anyone working yet. They seem sharp, but the migration has been a disaster.

    > You get the latest version of Office

    And that's the problem. 2013 was recently removed as a download option which means you can no longer run Office on anything but 7 with the latest SP and later. The next version of Office that is going to be released and that will be the only allowed version to install from Office 365 will only work with 10.

    Outlook 2007 can't even connect to outlook.office.com any longer. Microsoft dropped support for it last November and about a month ago, our users were no longer allowed to connect.

    Office 365 is a disaster unless you run the newest version of Windows and are willing to stay on the upgrade carousel. We can't since most of our customers use older versions of IE.

    Like the nearly 80% tax on soda and nickel tax per bullet which for cheaper calibers could be more than a 100% tax.

  19. I felt that way until we closed our local office, and I had to start working at home. I live in the Seattle area, and AC is rare here. I don't think I've even ever been in an apartment or condo that had it. It sucked working all day last summer in the heat. Also, your home workspace that might have worked well for a few hours a week to check email or play games probably won't be as comfortable when you're spending 50+ hours a week there. I had to buy a new desk and chair.

    Also, you're probably going to be required to use a webcam. I had to move my desk to an inconvenient place to get a good background. Coworkers with pets also have trouble with keeping them off camera. This week I saw a coworker's cat bite at the camera. It was amusing, but not very professional.
