Comment on 'We're done with Teams': German state hits uninstall on Microsoft
ian@feddit.uk 3 days agoTeams 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.

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.

Their priority is sustaining profit. Which needs them to keep the status quo, not innovate. Teams is not innovation. If you are satisfied with what we have today, the next generation of digital information will really surprise you. Yet it would have been available 30 years ago if not for big business monopolies and lack of imagination among techies.
