Skype for Business (or whatever the legacy chat product is or has been called) dates back to 2007 and was typically present in your EA seat license bundle. Slack might be better than Skype, but it’s weird to suggest that getting into a market with an established history suddenly becomes anti-competitive only as soon as your competitor actually produces something that’s not a raging dumpster fire.
- treis 6y agoSkype For Business was a separate product. It's only when rolling it into the office suite that it becomes problematic. And that is only because of the dominant position Word/Excel/PPT hold. I personally don't think it's anti-competitive but I at least see the argument that can be made.
- hcurtiss 6y agoSkype for Business has always been an Office 365 install.
- treis 6y agoI definitely could be wrong but I thought at one point they were billed separately. Or at least there was a package you could get without Skype.
