    Tech Radar[^]:

    Customers are trusting Microsoft’s modern alternative to an ancient relic

    Because you can't have video meetings in Outlook?

    Either that, or it's counting people searching in Teams to find that message that was "right here yesterday!"

      Wow, that's like a survey showing broccoli is more popular than brussels sprouts.

      I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

        Quote:

        The Microsoft chief noted the number of users who were using “four or more” features within Teams had increased over 20% year on year.

        1. The application launch Icon. :-\ 2) Reading messages sent by other people. 3) Sending messages to other people. 4) The application close icon. ...and for the big brains... 5) The minimize icon. 6) The maximize icon. 7) The restore down icon.

        Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

              Microsoft Teams BLOWS. Elephanting blows. What retarded organization could come up with teams boggles my mind. Now bear with me for a bit. I support products that have been around for longer than most of Microsoft management, those bastards called product managers and the developers. Communication with past customers is priceless. Why the elephant would you silo it in some backend server and delete it from my local client? I swear there is a special place in hell for people who made these decisions. It's called support. Update: if I was using any other chat client, I could log my messages to a local file.... Seriously, is there anyone in IT at the corporate level with a clue? Anyone?

                And another thing - don't repost spam that won't let you reply to them. This article is beneath CP. At least throw in some sarcasm or something. The article is garbage.

                  No, it's called the compliance/legal department. If you can't easily store data locally it makes things like implementing data retention evidence destruction policies much simpler. An ex-employer started going down that road big time after being sued and apparently spending a ton of money on discovery having to try and scrape material from local stored PST files.                                                                                             X| X| X| X| X|                         X| X| X| X| X| X|                             X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X|               X| X|                             X| X|                X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X|           X|                                                X|      X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X|      X|

                    Yes, yes, I know all about data retention policies, etc. I forget the case, but many years ago two companies got into it, and the discovery process went on and on, revealing things that had no bearing on the legal argument. So, then the lawyers got involved with IT, and now we have this cesspool. Same thing applies to email as well. BUT, techie types being mostly intelligent, simply started downloading the mail they wanted to save to a local container file. In one fell swoop, we still save the email, but we reduce our productivity.

                      Same thing happened at my old job. Between people exporting their PSTs to thunderbird, people using acrobat to dump them to PDFs, people saving off messages as individual files, people copy/pasting to Word or OneNote, and people just burning their PSTs to DVDs and stashing them just in case; I suspect that at least in the short term they've probably made discovery more expensive not less. Longer term, well I'd say turnover would solve the issue but they've been in bunkermode for about a decade and have hired very few new people.
