- Nextgrid 6y agoI bet the majority of the user numbers are either users transitioning from Skype for Business (ex-Lync) or those who just got it installed and on auto-start (it automatically logs you in using your domain account) but never actually use it. In both cases these are users who were already within the Microsoft ecosystem. I am not convinced that Teams crushed Slack though, considering this ignores a significant chunk of the market in the form of startups and small businesses that typically don't have anything to do with Microsoft (Google Docs is way more popular in these spaces) and would absolutely reject Teams from a technical perspective based on how awful it is.
