Isn't he working for MS marketing? The hardware costs of machines is completely insignificant compared to anything Microsoft 365. So we would be talking about maintenance costs of those machines, because only those would still be relevant. But those are small today. My impression: Security has become a scare word when I think at the MS cloud (It was mentioned as an advantage in that Twitter thread) Recent example: Some people thought about integrating Teams with some project managing tools. They just wanted get protocols from discussions around projects imported in their software. You think there would be an API to query Teams that would allow you to extract content from Teams? Chats? Files? Yes, there apparently is, it is in beta and probably not available yet, but that isn't the problem. After you have worked through some unnecessary and arcane authentication processes, you can access Teams content with the MS Graphs API. You would need to register your App in Azure, manage all that damn credentials and app access keys and stuff you really don't want to deal with.... (btw: in practice those get pasted around by developers everywhere because nobody has time to manage this security theatre shit that just enables industrial espionage from Microsoft and is a severe security threat itself) What would be a far more safe alternative because of practical simplicity: username + password, but anyway.... You think you could then access Teams content? Nananananananananana! You have to convince Microsoft to give you access. You have to describe the functionality of the app so that MS activate the tenant specific functionality on your endpoints. Reviews are on every Wednesday. You have to put something in a form and wait... I get that for mailserver, but this is complete insanity. Needless to say, the idea was dropped by developer. This is Microsoft completely working against their customers.... Sorry for the rant...
