New sign-in experience for Office 365, what's it about?

Thanks for the link Scott.  Wow you know things have got bad when El Reg weighs in.

I really appreciate Alex Simons explanation, which I quoted below for convenience but I am not sure how confident I am that this won't happen again.

"Hey guys – Appreciate the feedback here. Things we did differently this time:

1.) The changes were flighted with private preview customers first.
2.) We are doing a 30+ day public preview period that allows us to get your feedback.
3.) We are running the opt in period right now

I apologize that the blog post announcing the changes did not go up earlier. The dev team surprised us by getting the changes up and running a few days earlier than planned and we had to scramble to get the blog post up as fast as possible. We will figure out how to make sure that doesn’t happen next time.

Paul, it sounds like from your tweet that you would also like us to only offer the option to opt in to you, the admin rather than to the end-users themselves. That makes sense to me – we will look into doing that going forward.

Again, thanks for the input here and I’m really sorry the blog post didn’t go up before the changes were pushed out."
