    Now please force Microsoft to actually make Teams a viable product that doesn’t crash three times a day.

      You’re asking Microsoft to do something they’ve never done for any of their products in 40 years?

      There’s already a new client that’s way more efficient on resources and more stable. It’s been in beta for a while and is available to turn on for users. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams-blog/enable-the-new-microsoft-teams-toggle-for-your-organization/ba-p/3781345

      There’s still some features that haven’t been ported over including managing users of a Teams group. You have to go out to the web interface to do that right now. For the normal day-to-day stuff like messaging and meetings it’s been better in my experience.

    Sysadmins around the world are sitting at their desks and chewing their nails, hoping that the EU goes through and actually makes them stop bundling that garbage with their Office suite so that we can actually look into actually good IM messaging apps instead.

      Every single MS product could be a different contract and salesperson and my company would still only get all of them

        We’re a gsuite environment and Google Meet is maybe good we had never tried it because we bought Zoom. My previous job had Teams everywhere and I absolutely hated it.

          Teams can be ok. I liked meet, more than zoom. My last job was a Google shop and it was all fine.

          Everything was better than webex

        Ah yes, the last time EU tried to interfere with Microsoft monopoly we got Windows N. Can’t wait to see them release Office N after a decade of bureaucracy.
