Does it? I thought local installs still function offline for up to 48 hours, as long as you haven't passed the last synced expiry date?

At least, that's how it used to function way back when I used it and had a not-always-online connection.

It doesn’t. These guys are probably still upset about the ribbon.

Microsoft is not my favorite company. But the only reason O365 has been down for days is when customer integrations (identity, security stuff, VPN rules, etc) break. That was even true in the early days before 365 branding. Source: I’ve been accountable for 250k+ user O365 environments as a customer director or VP for over a decade.

Really? Or did that not make its way up the chain of command? None of your 250k+ accounts had issues because they didn't connect to the internet? What about license renewals - did anyone get shut out of their account immediately because they missed a license renewal date and happy to be off the internet?

Looks like 40 in a decade.

Offline use cases don’t use O365.

Yeah, so? Why shouldn't one be?
