Funny, because the entire industry is motivated to move away from x86 too. I wonder if he'd like that to happen.

While we are at it, why not both? Also, can we move away from Windows and Office as well? And SharePoint, please? And add good search capabilities to Confluence.

Are you me? This list enumerates many specific pains I've had over the years. Adobe Acrobat might be next on this list.

You're just one of the borg that has existed and used computers and all felt the exact same thing.

I've got bad news for you. AD, Office, SharePoint, Teams, BI, etc. are becoming unified in the cloud around Power Platform.

Any new business problem in a Microsoft shop is going to go with a Power Platform/Teams/SharePoint Online solution as first prize.

Personally, I like it, even if it has some annoying challenges. I've not seen anything else come close in terms of rapid application development, integration and deployment; there's very little to license and what there is left falls under existing procurement relationships for most big enterprises that rely on Microsoft already.

But don't forget: It's Sharepoint all the way down.

[EdSharkey]

And on the way down, there was an unholy congress between SharePoint and OneDrive to create a new eldritch horror.

I suppose it was always going to be HR software

Why not move away from confluence as well?

[DarmokJalad1701]

Move away from everything. Retvrn to monke.

[mckirk]

No, further, return to sea. Exist as peaceful algae.

[dylan604]

Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill?

[rbanffy]

Coral, please. I don't want to be floating too much.

[eric__cartman]

I'd rather be a unicellular microorganism. Only having one cell to worry about sounds pretty chill.

[datadrivenangel]

Go with the flow man.

[2358452]

No, it's the other direction (away from monke): go toward open source :)

[hmottestad]

Didn't we all do that when they discontinued on-premise and then followed that up with a massive data loss in their hosted instance.

That's the way we do SaaS over here in Australia. Kicks tyres. She'll be right mate.

Office and x86 are both things I like because 3rd parties can create compatible ware.

[rbanffy]

We can create compatible things against any open API using any ISA (and just about any ISA is nicer than x86 right now).
