Outdated Before Its Time: The Disadvantages of the Microsoft Cloud ecosystem

March 1, 2023 by AJNI No Comments

Microsoft’s decision to stop supporting Microsoft 365 services on Office 2016/2019 after October 2023 (which is this year) can be viewed as a cynical attempt to encourage users to upgrade to newer versions of Office. This can be seen as a ploy to generate more revenue for the company, rather than a genuine concern for its users.

Furthermore, the frequent updates and changes to Microsoft’s productivity tools can be overwhelming for some users. The constant need to adapt to new features and interfaces can lead to frustration and reduced productivity. Users may feel like they are always playing catch-up and never have the opportunity to fully master their tools before they are outdated.

Moreover, the cost of upgrading to a newer version of Office can be prohibitive for some individuals and businesses. For smaller organizations, the cost of upgrading may be a significant burden. This can create an uneven playing field, where only those with the financial resources to upgrade can fully take advantage of the latest productivity tools.

In conclusion, while the announcement that Microsoft 365 services are supported on “modern” apps may appear positive at first glance, the fact that Office 2019 is considered “old” is a cause for outrage. The frequent updates and changes to Microsoft’s productivity tools can be overwhelming, and the cost of upgrading can be prohibitive for some users. These factors can create an uneven playing field and may cause frustration for end users and solutions providers who cannot keep up with the pace of technological advancements.

My two cents: Microsoft is greedy and wants to maximize profit while showing the middle finger to customers and solution providers.
