“Reply Al” appeared in office 365 last year for a bit.
Couldn’t get that fixed for 4 months.
And then there’s the old Forefront refusing to receive mail from a domain with DKIM, SPF and DMARC configured properly. 2 months for a support resolution because someone had broken the configuration on our regional cluster.
And the two days downtime when their own consultants fucked up our migration.
That’s just office 365.

I never claimed Office365 is well supported. ;D Dance with the devil and pay the price.

I think you have just listed most of them.
Microsoft has gained a well deserved reputation for dropping products on a whim. Companies (customers) have invested time and money in these, only to be f#ck#d over. Not every company is large enough to rewrite systems every time MS change their mind/management. Just look at Silverlight and LightSwitch as a couple of more recent examples. They they are wondering why they are losing market share, quite simple, no one in the industry trusts them any more.
BTW, who in MS thought it would be a good idea to redefine CSV as Character Separated Value, then decided the default character would be different in different countries so should be buried down in Regional Settings? WTF were they thinking?
My current problem is a bug in Windows 1703 breaking a report writer. The fix is to delete an update. But these computers are running Pro, so are set not to load updates as they come out. So they are now loading the full 1703 Windows update, which contains the unfixed bug.....

A large financial company in the U.K. built their front office stuff on silverlight. That was expensive to replace.
Now it’s Qt.
