Microsoft's dumbest rebrand in its near 50 year history just got even dumber

Or tell us: How is that MS RECALL system not a big security issue? Would you like to have a spy guy in trench-coat standing behind you, taking a picture of what's on your screen, and sending that info to Microsoft, or whereever it gets sent, behind our backs, against our express wishes? Well? Feelin lucky? Are you able to contact the folks that are ultimately responsible for this? I didn't think so. But, maybe you can at least understand that RECALL is a big reason why people cannot and will not upgrade to Windows 11. Basically, MSFT decided that it does not need to listen to professional people, whose work requires them to follow a measure of government enforced security, or security required by the nature of their business. Software people are utterly ignorant of such things. They do not care, or maybe they care as much as a switch board operator of the BIG SOVIET PHONE COMPANY around circa 1950. That's the level of standards at MSFT.

A few days ago, I tried MSFT Co-Pilot to find out how to deal with certain MSFT issues, such as "permissions", "windows registry", "security certificate stores", and I conclude that Co-Pilot spit out some basic pieces of info, but when it came down to providing

SPECIFIC & UP-TO-DATE info, the information became
a) incomplete, lacking specific information,
b) out of date as in OUT OF DATE,
c) unwilling or unable to get down to actual helpful levels.
All of which sounds surprisingly similar to the helpless, hopeless FEEDBACK HUB.


Even a "completely blinded by the light of money & success" guy like Jeff Bezos has an
email address like jeff@amazon.com, so that he might find out from customers whether some things are oing majorly wrong in his business. But people like Mr. Sat(j)an Nutella or Brad Smith would never want to know anything, because like Trump they "already know everything", and they can't be bothered to be woken up from their pleasant dreams, - which is the way they assume they might know what customers want.
They don't know and don't care to know. Microsoft is worth only Three Trillion, and only if it gets to
6, or 10, or 24 Trillion, then they will be happy, or maybe NOT yet.

" A couple of years ago, Microsoft inexplicably rebranded it to "Microsoft 365,""

Wrong!

MS Office got added to MS365. MS Office still exists but it's not known as Office, as Office is only the original Office Suite. 365 includes more apps.

It was not rebranded, a couple of years ago Office got added to 365.

WRONG, Microsoft Office may have been added to Microsoft 365, but numerous things changed for the worse, like the conundrum that is a "LOCAL VERSION" of Outlook,
versus "the Online Outlook Outlook.live.com" versus the weird unconfigurable "Microsoft Mail", versus the now fairly messed up "new version of Outlook".

Once again, Microsoft does not know or care what customers want. Certainly all customers know that renaming something, anything, while making it worse, less secure, less configurable is not fooling anyone. The quality of Microsoft programmers is getting worse and worse. And there is no one there to listen or stop the slide into a complete software garbage fire. Microsoft management seems to think that they can deceive or lie to all customers all the time. They are wrong in this. They will likely keep the starry-eyed new dummy customers, who don't know that software was once better.
