I have seen the comparison video and I am unimpressed. A company with the legacy in software development that Microsoft has should be ashamed of how slow both versions load and how jittery everything seems.

It is 2023, how can they find it acceptable that loading is so slow that UI elements appear one by one? That's something I expect from a computer running Windows 95 on a 386DX.

Yes! It's hard to believe that this company made an entire OS.

No matter how much revenue Teams is generating, given the number of users, it deserves a native app, not a webview!

This is anecdotal evidence but I have never seen a person use Microsoft 365 suite of Apps in real life. It’s always Google web apps and Slack. Who is this mysterious Microsoft customer that has made them the 2nd most valuable company in the world?

Every gov't and major international organisation I have worked with is on the Microsoft 365 platform. They all use teams, some even prohibit the use of Google Meets or Zoom

I'd guess the majority of large enterprises are using the 365 stack. I've had more Teams calls today than Zoom calls throughout the entire pandemic.

That ship sailed long ago after they excreted the turd that is Windows 8 and its successors.

Microsoft has no chance in the tech/startup world where workers have enough power to reject garbage solutions.

Their market is big legacy companies where tools aren't chosen based on merit (instead chosen on buzzwords, kickbacks or money under the table) and where the day-to-day users of those tools don't have the power to demand change.
