Seems funny to point at Google when I suspect the bigger revenue impact was probably MS Teams being “good enough for the CIO.” G-Suite is widely adopted but how does it compare to MS for enterprise revenue? I suspect MS is way bigger but have not checked in a while. We tried to expand Zoom licenses during COVID because it worked better, and were told “no, use Teams.” We barely held on to Slack, which is only used (albeit heavily) by a few engineers and product folks now. Everyone else uses Teams as instructed…

I recall a Google Workspace insider telling me that its annual revenue was $1B circa 2018. Given that it's part of the Google Cloud segment, that made GSuite roughly 20% of its total revenue. Assuming this continued to hold, GSuite's 2024 revenue was around $9B. Given that M$'s Office revenue for commercial and customer segments was around $50B, it's safe to say that GSuite is substantially smaller.

> We tried to expand Zoom licenses during COVID because it worked better, and were told “no, use Teams.” My workplace discarded Zoom because of its terms of use. They evaluated the stuff from IBM, Google, and F5. At the end none of those options actually worked, and MS added Teams to our license. I'm still annoyed that nobody bothered looking at jitsi.

Whoever at Microsoft has made copying text out of MSTeams chat so horrendously broken, please tell: were you forced to make it that way because some product manager forced you to follow their MS365 hegemonic walled garden dream? or are you just a deranged AI?
