Paul Noone This entire thread highlights the lack of proper UAT on new feature releases in SPO. Unlike the SPS only days when MS had to test thoroughly BEFORE sending out an update or Service Pack, these days they announce a new feature that is then released as a Preview which will be used by early adopters and those who have specific knowledge or an existing use case for the feature. These users are performing free UAT services for Microsoft in live environments, great for MS but no good for our users! As for UserVoice, don't even ask....... It highlights how little thought/planning goes into new features if they have to debug/update them based on user feedback.
jkiblerfbibuildings Expect this to get a lot worse as MS turn everything in SPS into an 'app', Microsoft Lists was the first, Microsoft Libraries cannot be far behind, why they are trying to compete with Google and Apple in the Consumer space is beyond me, but it is clear that Enterprise customers are no longer their focus.
As for the Blue Badgers who post on these forums, their main aim is to become a 'celebrity' with a social notwork following. I follow them on Twitter (because that is where the first indication of a new feature is), but I do not give a toss what their opinions are on breast feeding, politics, black lives, mental health, autos, raising children, home working tips, "the zeitgeist", blah, blah, blah. Have these guys ever heard of "Work/Life balance"? You are being followed because you are a Microsoft Employee - no other reason. Steve Ballmer would never have allowed this situation to arise, he would have enforced separate social notwork feeds for Microsoft and personal posts.
Never mind, back to my day job of rolling out a 50,000 user SPO infrastructure. I will be putting off opening my Office 365 Message Center "Major Change Update Notification" emails before downing my first coffee. I want to delay as long as possible finding out what untested features are being inflicted on my new user base..... 😉
