9 seconds to launch an app, wow.. that's still super slow.. I wonder what machine was used to test, the developer's beefy machine? a VM?
9 seconds without a single crash is very fast for teams (not sarcasm)

#12Here's hoping that with 2.0, they can at least make Teams stop completely sucking.
Re: Welcome to Teams 2.0
#13I like how they brag about launch time _in comparison to the old teams_ (9s vs 20s), but in my eyes they're just highlighting how fucking slow teams was and still is.
Teams is garbage.

#14... and not a single mention of Linux. It's kind of sad to see, that Linux remains a step-child for MS Teams. My company forced the move from Slack to Teams, and effectively downgraded the entire experience of online collaboration for everyone. C-level moved "up" from S4B to Teams and called it amazing, while all the product teams and devs that were previously using Slack have lost a huge amount of online communicati…
Linux is just another way for Microsoft to make money.
They will never embrace it fully. It's a dish rag they wring out and use.

#15From the admin perspective Teams is a million times better than Slack or WebEx to set up and get going with because it's all built in, works really well.
From a user perspective it sucks mainly due to the bloated nature of the app, I've used other Electron apps that feel snappy but Teams just takes forever to do anything. Hopefully this refresh on WebView2 will make it so it doesn't take multiple seconds to display that I've sent a message.

#16My company made us move to this from Slack, killed all online camaraderie that existed in the enterprise to save some bucks. Hope at least now it's usable, would love to be able to enumerate things, use code blocks, etc... it's a bit of a nightmare for day to day work as it was, so I'm glad at least there is some movement, as we are basically captive audience.
Consider adopting an unofficial Matrix, Mattermost, Signal, or Discord room "for the express purpose of the lol's" (but also your venting about Pointy-haired boss).
Just be aware that you can't prevent your pointy-haired boss from finding out about it, or from potentially seeing the words being exchanged there.

I feel very strongly that the only reason anyone uses any Microsoft software is because Microsoft makes corporate deals with every company on the planet and most people don’t bother to every try anything besides what they have to use at work.

I'd be fine with the bloated nature of the app if it otherwise worked well. But it doesn't. The UI is a real mess. It's very confusing, easy to get stuff wrong, and is generally a real pain in the ass to use.
Since they're trumpeting "AI integration" in this version, I'm not very hopeful that 2.0 will have fixed the real issues with Teams.

The only reason I use Teams is because my employer forces me to. The instant that changes, I won't touch the thing again. I'm certainly not going to start using it in my personal life.
