Microsoft (MSFT.O) will sell its chat and video app Teams separately from its Office product globally, the U.S. tech giant said on Monday, six months after it unbundled the two products in Europe in a bid to avert a possible EU antitrust fine.

That will just make them more money as they can charge whatever they want for both

From Teams plus office 10 euros a month per user to Office alone 9 euros a month per user and Teams alone 5 euros a month per user.

Microsoft would never do that now, would they ?

If we clearly have to pay for.something, instead of it being wrapped into a license of so many things, I will push for us to take Zoom.

It just works better.

Annotating on screen is worth it alone, instead of trying to talk the screen sharer to what part of the screen you want to talk about.

I want:

  • Zoom's...
    • ...annotation
    • ...richer reactions
  • Teams's...
    • sensible screen layout
    • richer chat content
    • chat continuity before/during/after meetings
    • very granularly customizable avatars
  • Some other tool's composition interface for chat text

The annotation is a killer feature I don't why others haven't added it yet

Pretty sure the only reason any org uses teams is because it's already bundled for free with office or Enterprise subscriptions.

Teams also have great integration with SharePoint which simplified administration and usage.

I'm completely biases because I cannot find a si gle redeemable feature of SharePoint.... Hence, anything that integrates with SharePoint is just worse by doing so
