Federal cyber experts called Microsoft's cloud a "pile of shit," approved it anyway

“it’s a pile of shit, we love it!”

This is exactly how ITIL intended right?

By early 2020, Melinda Rogers, Justice’s deputy chief information officer, made the decision official and soon deployed GCC High across the department. … Rogers, who was hired by Microsoft in 2025

Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said the department would use the False Claims Act to pursue government contractors “when they fail to follow required cybersecurity standards—because we know that puts all of us at risk.” … There is no public indication that such a case has been brought against Microsoft or anyone involved in the GCC High authorization. The Justice Department declined to comment. Monaco,…did not respond to requests for comment. She left her government position in January 2025. Microsoft hired her to become its president of global affairs.

This shouldn’t be fucking legal.

LOL! That’s exactly what I call Microsoft products! It’s just a big steaming pile of shit.

So many things stay broken from one version to another. So many “fixes” related to stealing our data or monitoring what we do or charging us more. Yeah, its a pile of shit.
