OK, we are alte... well Steve is late in publishing this episode... no excuse except travelling to the Microsoft world... but then again this is what this episode is about... if you could change anything about M365... what would your expectations be.

The Boys are back! Marijn and Steve embark on an intergalactic journey through Microsoft 365 in search of the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything—aka their own '42'.

From the deep trenches of SharePoint to the swirling galaxies of Teams, Sway, Exchange, and beyond, they explore the quirks, wonders, and hidden gems of the M365 ecosystem. Expect a whirlwind of insights, unexpected discoveries, and the kind of tech wisdom that would make even Deep Thought raise an eyebrow.

Join us for a fun, fast-paced, and thoroughly entertaining ride as we unravel the mysteries of M365 and help you find your own '42' in the world of collaboration, productivity, and—dare we say—governance! Don't panic, grab your towel, and tune in!

Steve comes back from Collabdays Miami and tells the story about the 4th revolution that is currently happening in the world.

Well this is a conversation about Intranets that the boys dont start arguing about... too much anyway.

OK, the boys ramble on a bit about the money and about AI. The way we pay for SharePoint and M365 services and new ways to pay for Azure services then budgeting for your SharePoint services changes and increases as you are more successful with Copilot.

But are we actually paying more or are things just changes... but then we got distracted... something that happens very rarely for Steve and Marijn... well... OK check it out and enjoy... and maybe get prompted for a few ideas and the odd Golden Nugget...

So, this turned out to be fun after the boys could not get excited about a big single subject... except whisky... but being broke after the holidays cheap whisky became a talking point... then Steves's mum joined the call and AI became a talking about along with a M365 Comparison with many things Whisky...

But then the boys got serious and talked about some very nice drams all priced around the 30-50 euro mark that taste like things double the price.

Steve and Marijn record this just before Xmas and decide on 4 whiskies as they have a send-off for Viva Goals recently announced to be deprecated by Microsoft.

Check out this episode to find out why we think it has disappeared and if a hole has been left that needs filling more importantly laugh as we work through the last episode we recorded before Snow fell and Santa delivered presents.

Six years ago the boys recorded Office365Distilled 001. 6 years and 155 Episodes ago and talked about Ignited 2018.
So the opportunity arose to check out what was announced at Ignite 2018 and compare it to Ignite 2024 which has just happened.
So enjoy a little reminiscing of the past whilst looking at the future.
