Looks like they remade Trello. It also seems to have a certain "sterileness" to it, or perhaps classiness; I can't tell. The colors look good though and product brand looks good.
I hope they have some cool new features that inspire competition and improvements from Trello. Competition is always good if it makes Trello better!
But since I don't like where Microsoft is going with their privacy and advertising policies, I probably won't use this.
- peternicky 10y agoCare to elaborate on which specific policies you are referring to?
- THE_PUN_STOPS 10y agoSkype is one good historic example of the shift that OP is referring to. Leaks have shown that, since purchase, Microsoft has been unusually cooperative with the NSA with regards to Skype. [1] They also removed the P2P aspect of Skype infrastructure and replaced it with a traditional server model, coincidentally around the same time that NSA docs describe intercepting skype messages with PRISM...

- dewiz 10y agoThe move from P2P to a client-server model, is a sensible change, considering the fight to stay relevant on mobile devices, for instance considering the impact that Skype used to have on battery consumption. http://markmail.org/message/exc3srjkx3uu66bz http://markmail.org/message/exc3srjkx3uu66bz http://blogs.skype.com/2013/10/04/skype-architecture-update/ http://blogs.skype.com/2013/10/04/skype-architecture-update/
- mathattack 10y agoI think the "sterileness" is their attempt to make it look corporate. One could say the same for Excel, Word and Powerpoint, no?
- alttab 10y agoGood luck competing with free.
- SimonPStevens 10y agoBut it does compete with free. It's included in all of the office 365 business and enterprise subscriptions. So this is effectively free to a large set of business customers.
- throwawaymsft 10y agoDo Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook compete effectively with their free alternatives? People use software for more reasons than price.
- snuxoll 10y agoDoes the HIPAA BAA I have with Microsoft for cloud services cover Trello? No? Okay then.
