Re: Microsoft is killing Skype
#682Earlier quoted context omitted.
Some suit was probably worried about cannibalizing their Teams business (even though Skype has better name recognition and Teams has a bad reputation). It's pretty common in the dinosaurs like Microsoft. Kodak for example had working digital cameras very early on, but didn't do anything with them because they didn't want to cannibalize their film business. Give a suit a KPI, and they're gonna optimize for that KPI.
Remember, Teams was originally "Skype for Business".
Originally it was Office Communicator, then Lync, then Skype for Business and now Teams.
