You and me are out there enjoying it (unless you are being sarcastic, then it's just me out there in ignorant bliss).
I still don't get why people are so opposed (it's cheaper than the collection of apps required to do the same thing). The best reason I heard was it doesn't work well on Linux, which I'm like duh - they don't care about that demographic, like, at all. My best thinking is that maybe folks aren't using all the features. I mean, one of them is a voiced Copilot summary of a meeting done by a man and woman, like they are talking about the meeting at the water-cooler. Truly terrible and amazing all at once.

Onedrive is a nightmare.
Once made the mistake of keeping some personal photos in the 'pictures' directory of my own laptop.
Then started a course at uni, installed the free student version of MS365 or whatever it's called, including onedrive.
Next thing i know, I get a popup notification displaying the 'best of' my private photos on screen, while I'm showing colleagues something on my laptop!

I use MS teams on Linux all day long for work through web browser (I think it's a PWA app?) and have no issues at all. I'm not saying I love MS teams but I am not running into any bugs with it. My only complaint is they used to have a 'native' Linux app that ran using something called electron that would allow for notifications in my desktop environment, whereas now in the browser I don't get those, but that didn't really end up being a problem.

I had hope for Microsoft when they came out with WSL and VS Code.
I was a fool, of course.

Wait, you are running it in a browser? That would give a terrible experience and limited features (you probably miss out on that sweet voiced meeting recap). I can understand why you/anyone wouldn't like that.

It’s usually fine, but when it decides to be difficult it’s extremely frustrating. It’s pretty rare that it directly affects me, but it has happened. And for some of my coworkers it seems to be always acting up.
That being said, I do love being able to walk my dog while on meetings with Teams on my phone.

They deleted pics I saved. I have everything in my own drives and shut one drive out of my computer. POS

Check it out, teams.microsoft.com, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything for my day to day work duties? I can lead meetings, screen share, use Copilot, calendar...all the "Teams" stuff like the tabs for onenote or planner or other apps (they're all web based too). I guess I don't feel like I'm missing out on any capability?
TBH I'd rather read a transcription than listen to two voices paraphrasing a meeting anyway.

At this point, any file you store in Windows is temporary only. Backup it to your phone if you want to be sure.
And, of course, neither of them is private. Expect them to be sent to everybody you know with your name attached.

It's so calming when it just decides to not get any new message for a day and starts removing meetings from your schedule...

For me is the low bar of quality assurance. It is so incredibly filled with bugs.
Wrong connection status, inconsistent connection status, sometimes decides to not receive any calls and ghost missing calls are a daily ocurrence in my group. Literally any of these bugs will happen 5+ times a day.
I'm also convinced it is the reason my Win10 install got borked and had to reinstall the whole OS.

This is not the future we were promised. I never would have thought that we would have to be our own security experts to save ourselves from the companies we depend on.

I love loops for day to day project management

I've said that, and meant it, but it was when Teams first came out. At the time, it was just a bare-bones Slack clone with the alternative being the godawful Skype for Business. lol.
All they had to do was just stop making it worse from there.
Microsoft: hold my beer!

When I worked at Boeing, for reasons that are completely unknown to me, they had features of some products (including Teams) disabled and were running versions that were quite behind. And it occurred to me that some people experience the tech this way. I wonder if that is happening for others who have negative experiences...
