With Teams, on the other hand, they've got nothing to "prove", they just need to show up. Enterprises eat it up automatically because they already use Office, so "it's free".
I also don't think they have any hope of attracting people from outside the MS ecosystem, so they don't even try. I'm actually quite surprised they've put out a Linux version which isn't any worse than the Windows one.
- Nextgrid 5y agoExactly. Developers aren’t stupid and most have experience with legitimately good tools - you’re not going to win them over with a pile of shit like Teams. The target market for Teams however is one that’s often non-technical and has never used anything better, so for them Teams is an upgrade.
