Fuck everything about Microsoft products. The different licenses are a nightmare, the programs are shit, and "FUCK YOU FOR TRYING TO INSTALL A PROGRAM OR USE LOCAL STORAGE" seems to be the default.
Also I don't trust them not to be spying on users. But sure, every government job I've had we used the products.
and every fucking company is using it. I don't even wanna know how much money my company is paying for all the MS crap we use.

Microsoft Teams isn’t all bad! For example, it bogged down my work computer so much at start up that I would basically get an extra break.
It temporarily deletes my meetings just before they happen, so that I don't have to attend them!
Of course, when I open it later, the meetings are restored, with the original date, and no trace of the deletion. So not attending them is quite hard to explain to others. But it does save me from attending!

It literally doesn't even function half the time.
That's not all, a ton of schools use it
I think I don't like that Microsoft has access to stored chat messages between kids.
Who told you to tell the truth?
You had no right!
Is there a Microsoft product that isn't?
To be fair, Teams is pretty bad even for MS. I've never seen something do so relatively little and still perform so poorly. When I switched jobs and got to use Slack it was like a great fog being lifted off of my being.
I have an old Microsoft brand thumb drive that fits perfectly into my ass and makes me nut every time
Excel, Active Directory, and to a somewhat lesser degree MSSQL.
Excel?! Have to respectfully disagree on that one.
Sadly I had to go the other way, from Slack to Teams. Oh the horror!!
For your sacrifices, I salute you

VS Code. That's it though.
Ah yes, you're right.
I guess a better qualifier might be: closed-source Microsoft products tend overwhelmingly to suck.

well, it's not just Teams and not just MS. Have you worked with Zoom lately? I do agree that Teams occupies that very special dark space in my heart right next to hate and loathing.
Zoom works for video. I test it a few times a week for a few hours with a few contacts each time.
And a few beer.
It's a vPub most of the time with some tech thrown in.
I hate to say it, but FB Messenger is reliable for me too : starts well, sounds good, video's clean, ends cleanly . I need to remind mom how to start that call when it's with her on her old portal unit, but yeah. Cambridge is the worst thing to happen to good products like M and Portal.
