It's actually really funny. I run a private email server for customers to connect to via IMAP/SMTP. We're entirely unaffected by this outage.
However, customers who decide to use Outlook as an email cilent are unable to access their email because when you connect Outlook to my server, it just sends your credentials to MS and their servers download the email while the Outlook client is basically just a web client displaying the email on MS's servers.

I doubt microsoft has a bunch of linux servers. Besides this doesn't solve its current problem. Your other solutions to switch to linux should be specified as what linux? Linux desktop OS, server, client side outlook replacement, MS Office replacement? most companies run linux servers or outsource it to Azure and AWS. if your company is large enough you likely run a server yourself to host the email service.
>>
>>110318259
Thx friendo. I never post here but wanted to share that Classit Outlook is working. Im an autists who disables windows update on the registry as soon as I get a new laptop so my classic outlook is a very old version
>>
>>110318298
Azure actually does run a lot of linux virtual servers, and Microsoft do run some services on these linux systems. At the core, it's some modified Windows Server (I think it's called CloudHost?) acting as a hypervisor.

The idiots talking about "muh linux" should be trying to talk about products that compete with Microsoft 365 rather than the OS. There's nothing really here, except perhaps Collabora Office, but it's not a drop in replacement.

Well thats new to me i figured they had some linux servers but mostly ran everything on Win Server. Either way yeah i agree the closest competitor to anything MS is Google but they abandon products to quickly and make unpopular sweeping changes to often. Libre office while decent cannot compete in the slightest with MS office especially since Excel is still god of the office. Other email services aren't nearly as robust or cover the needs of these companies and i still don't know of any that has a client service a company would need.

This is actually a very sensible default, but to save idiots from losing their keys, Microsoft backs up the key to there own servers. That's the right call for most retards to prevent them from losing everything... but it of course depends on Microsoft keeping there services running if you need to retrieve the key.

If you're a criminal, then you'll want to skip the option to backup your keys to MS.

It's not gone forever because Microsoft backs up the key, which on any day other than today, is a good compromise. And now when Jamal or Russian prostitutes steal your laptop, your data is secure.

I work in finance. We connect with outside partners using Salesforce and Outlook, and Teams with inside partners. While I was working Outlook was completely fucked, then the e-mail component of Salesforce died, so we were then limited to just phones and Teams. If Teams is gone tomorrow we basically will not be able to work. All our tools will be just fine, but since communications will be limited to phones we'll be so bottlenecked nothing will get done. I get in at 7:30AM PST, they'll probably already be fucked by then.
