This is wrong on so many levels. First of all, IT admins receive weekly e-mails from AWS, Google and MS that a certain service will shut down and that it will affect operations. In 90% of the cases, these e-mails are sent to all customers instead of only the affected customers, so admins get alarm fatigue.
Secondly, instead of doing a rug pull, what's wrong with a 2-month brownout period? Only allow the admin to login, put OneDrive in read-only mode. That will alert all users clearly.
Thirdly instead of fending of the questions from slate.com with Orwellian corporate speak, they should acknowledge their mistake and spend a couple of weeks of the highly paid engineers to see whether they can recover the data. Why is it always so hard for MS to say "Sorry, we made a mistake".
- KronisLV 24d ago> Why is it always so hard for MS to say "Sorry, we made a mistake". Seems like no corpos ever want to say that. Surely it’s not because of some pride or PR? I’m guessing such an admission might also sometimes have legal risks?
- prymitive 24d agoSaying sorry means admitting guilt. If there’s guilt there some level of harm. If there’s harm you can be sued. Avoiding being sued due to causing harm usually means increased costs, because you now need to take care you didn’t take before. Higher cost means you’re less competitive. Being less competitive makes you less attractive investment target. So as always it’s all about money. Saying sorry == lower share price.
- conception 24d agoThe worst thing you can be in America is wrong. Our entire public society is built around, not admitting guilt or wrongdoing in any way shape or form.
