Teams is just a copy of old functionality. It doesn’t offer anything new. Especially considering their funds and reach. Yet it just promotes the old document / paper world. I’m sure that is intentional. As they need to keep office going. The world should have moved on from documents by now.
Comment on 'We're done with Teams': German state hits uninstall on Microsoft
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 6 days agoYou’re way off here. Microsoft are the industry leaders in this space because they’re so far ahead of everyone else because they focus on this stuff. They’re far from lazy, they’re the opposite in fact. As someone who manages the whole MS suite from entra to dev ops all the way to managed instance dbs and defender and everything in between daily, their integration across everything and their pace of updates is insane.
What products specifically are you calling “outdated junk” and why?

What on earth are you talking about by “promotes the old document/paper world”?

Today, when people deal with information digitally, we should be in control in the way we need it. Individual pieces of information should be easy to send, edit, automate, consume and share, without IT getting in the way. Sadly the old files, silos, incompatibility, and systems designed for printing paper documents is still dominant. MS need that. To keep their dominance from the days when they grew powerful and got caught abusing their their monopoly position. We need to move past this mess as soon as we can.

You wrote all of that without actually saying anything.
How does any of…… that…… apply to this situation? Microsoft are one of the biggest pushers of “all digital” there is.

I can also explain Microsoft’s straglehold on enterprise/government/institutional IT in two words: Group Policy. Nothing - absolutely nothing - from any other OS maker comes close to the granular level of configurability, customisation and flexibility that comes with Group Policy, not even ChromeOS or iOS.
