@Lesley_wolan @LoryanStrant @MSFTRecruit Haha! Fun fact is that this year I wanted to rip Deadpool and X Force as Teams Force. But Will was less enthusiastic about that 😂

@LoryanStrant @MSFTRecruit @MarkVale83 😅

@TheOpen ballot is biased. For the last 4 ballots I've tried to get a ticket to 1 day. They're £240 which is expensive. You send me emails saying I'm more likely to get selected if I choose to attend multiple days. Not very fair ballot if you're favouring profit over fans

@WeakestLync I got laughed at by fellow Microsoft consultants when suggesting multi cloud is the only way to protect your business. But hey, everyone has made their bed now and will have to live with the consequences of their decisions and greater intelligence

@WeakestLync Yep, that's why Callroute is in Azure AND AWS and Private Cloud

Crowdstrike - At fault Microsoft - Have a duty of care to their customers to prevent this happening again and ensure customers (especially end users) can recover easier.

@WeakestLync This is it isn't it. For this issue to break the entire world over and over again begs the question of how this was t picked up in QA...

@MarkVale83 Must be something they can do. EDR software must be a huge attack surface now. Keys to the kingdom within. There's also the small issue of not testing updates properly and then pointing and shooting to the whole planet. 🤣 Staging updates probably sensible path for customers.

@WeakestLync Or perhaps governments should legislate that one vendor can't over expose an industry to excessive risk. When all eggs are in one basket and the basket breaks, the world stops

@WeakestLync Perhaps as part of procurement companies should ask the question of vendor exposure. In mortgage world a bank will only write down a certain amount in an area. After that it's too much risk. In business procurement should ask how much of their vertical is exposed to the vendor

@paulrobichaux @HabibMankal @RealTimeUC Typo. Not playing Elon $10 for edit capabilities 😂

@MarkVale83 @HabibMankal @RealTimeUC Glad you explained that; I was a bit puzzled

@HabibMankal and @RealTimeUC, If you can stop streaming on the pitch please, that would be great. It might be customary in Canada, but over here, not so much...

@patrichard @EricMarsi @commsverse I've already signed him up to every mailing list I can find
