Comment on 'We're done with Teams': German state hits uninstall on Microsoft

• ian@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  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.

        Again - you’re writing a lot but saying nothing.

        What exactly are you talking about? Give specifics. What exactly are Microsoft “holding back”? How are they only keeping the status quo by having the most integrated all-in-one ecosystem on the market?

        I’m not sure why you expect teams to be innovative in the first place?
