How MSFT Squandered the opportunity they had with Skype, remember when Skype was used for everything by everyone way back... any broadcast on CNN or the like that involved a VC with some expert in far away lands had the skype logo on the VC. It was a lightweight app and you could VoIP just fine in terrible internet conditions. Something happened when MSFT purchased it - from that point on it just go progressively worse I don't think I remember them improving a single thing, then they came up with MS Teams... screwed it so bad and opened the door for an entire industry that wouldn't have existed at all if they didn't screw it over so bad.
- ChymeraXYZ 5y agoWhen you look at the audio routing in Linux "teams" is no where to be seen. It's all "skype". So apparently they just took Skype and made it "enTeRpRise"
- hackerfromthefu 5y agoWell to be fair they have destroyed Skype as well. It used to work well, now it's a joke with messages often not delivered for random long time periods, call not getting through when both people are online, and just generally failing at the basics. But before MS rewrote it, then it worked very well.
