OK … I think I’m turning into a smug Mac user: one laughing at Microsoft’s latest troubles.
Seeming?
An unspecified* issue is causing problems with Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft 365, Copilot, Teams, and the Microsoft Store: and having knock-on effects on various organisations.
Including Britain’s NHS.
I suspect many who don’t use those services, are feeling smug, grateful … or just plain relieved.
I’m in the mildly smug camp: I’ve owned a Mac for twenty-five years, so it comes with the territory.
But I’m also sympathetic: the situation is awkward for those of us who rely on the affected services.
It’s also something that proves a point: one that technology guests on today’s edition of the Today programme have been making.
Relying on one company’s product is unwise.
We need alternatives in place: for when something goes down.
