Microsoft pushes Office 365 to everyone

July 13, 2011 by Wayne Small 7 Comments

I was writing this blog post over the weekend and downloading Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3 and could not help but notice, that Microsoft is now pushing Office 365 to you even when you go to patch your Exchange server.  They really are desperate to get you to move to the cloud even if it’s not the right thing for your business.  See the screenshot below for the advert for Office 365.

    Wayne,

    How can you make the judgement like that? You are on a Microsoft site. You are downloading a patch, why isn’t it something to consider not having to do the patch using something like Office365?

    If it was an ad for SBS would you then say they are desperate to sell SBS? I doubt it.

    I fear you have applied you own biases to what you have seen.

    Thanks
    Robert Crane

    Rob,

    I guess I’m surprised – I’ve not noticed targetted advertising like this before on the downloads section.

    While I’m reading this post there is a much larger banner at the right hand side trying to convince me to take an online course Spanish. ¿Why are you pushing that to me, Señor?

    I agree with Robert.
