I dislike this article because it hides important facts until the last section: “I am in touch with Microsoft about OneDrive Photos, and my early findings suggest that it was an unintended rollout. An apology should be coming soon.”
So, this journalist/news site shames Microsoft for doing something shitty, while doing something shitty themselves.
If memory serves me right. This is like the fourth unintended rollout in OneDrive history, on W11 at least. Every time our IT has to send an email to remind all staff how to disable computer wide backup and how to disable OneDrive in general. Since we don’t pay for it but MS still insist it should infect everything.
Each of these unintended rollout costs us millions of dollars of people’s time, since our organization has hundreds of thousands of employees all over the world.
It was not an unintended rollout, that’s them lying to save whatever face they may have left.
Back when I used windows, OneNote would reinstall itself like every week. I removed it, it came back. I corrupted all of it’s files, it repaired itself.
Doing unintended rollouts is also shameful. They’re a billion dollar corporation. There’s absolutely no excuse for something like that to happen. The journalist did nothing wrong to call them out.
What shitty thing did the author do? Regardless of if this rollout was intentional or not, they did do it, and there’s no excusing that An apology doesn’t change anything.
I write that in my first sentence : “I dislike this article because it hides important facts until the last section”
You also make it sound like I’m defending MS - that confuse me quite a bit too since I’m actually stating in my comment that they did something shitty.
“I am in touch with Microsoft about OneDrive Photos, and my early findings suggest that it was an unintended rollout. An apology should be coming soon.”
That’s not a particularly important fact. The important fact is that they did push this and there was nothing the users could do about it. Their apology doesn’t mean anything when they keep doing this shit.
Then you’re a fool. Every wrong these corporations commit should be met with as much hostility as we can muster. They don’t deserve our grace. If they could hook us all up to tubes and drain our blood for profit while blasting us with ads they would do it without even thinking twice. We’re nothing to them.

After how many “unintentional mishaps, woops teehee won’t do it again” can it be held against MS?
It’s weird how every time a company does something they’re known for doing and it’s badly received they claim it was an unintentional rollout.
micwosowft is just a smol bean

Literally malware
Strong disagree. Microsoft does this on the regular. They get no credit for their repeated ‘we’re sorry’.
Southpark: “We’re sorry”
You disagree with what? Do you think it is great journalism to hide that information to the very end of the article?
MS clearly did something shitty, not arguing about that.
It was not an unintended rollout, that’s them lying to save whatever face they may have left.

This is just the bullshit that Microsoft does.
nah, incompetence at this level deserves shame
Agreed, but not my argument.
Doing unintended rollouts is also shameful. They’re a billion dollar corporation. There’s absolutely no excuse for something like that to happen. The journalist did nothing wrong to call them out.
It’s very unprofessional by MS and they should be shamed for it, I’m not arguing against that. I’m only saying I think this article is bad.

Clear now?
That’s not a particularly important fact. The important fact is that they did push this and there was nothing the users could do about it. Their apology doesn’t mean anything when they keep doing this shit.
I see it differently, I think it makes quite a difference whether it was intentional or not.
Then you’re a fool. Every wrong these corporations commit should be met with as much hostility as we can muster. They don’t deserve our grace.
