I'm no big fan of MS. And even if I were, using Teams would make that praise fall in the shitter
But I'm tired of these groups arguing that something should be less complete as a good thing
Why doesn't Yamaha sue Honda for including their own radio in the car? And surely customers would be irritated that they had to go and get another fucking radio
If I buy "Office Suite" I want it to have all the products included. If I think teams sucks I can get something else
If they make it difficult for that, like they did with IE, that's a different story. But merely including it? Come on
They tried that shit with antivirus. I'm GLAD MS includes defender. If I had to get all that shit separately, I'd be irritated. And if I don't like defender, I'm free to get something else
I use a lot of MS products. But when they try to trick me into using their browser every time I update, I have to dig through settings to remove Teams,and I have to install a third party app to choose the browser and search engine used from search bar, it's clear they're running amok
Well that's the kind of shit I was talking about with actual issues. It's annoying
Same in edge where it keeps trying to enable recommendations and other trash. Even now on my phone it keeps trying to send notifications to get me to use bing chat gpt. You're a glorified wallpaper rotation, gtfo
I keep edge as my default for work. It's just easier with the typical shitty intranet that breaks down if you use a different browser
Windows search bar or the one in Edge?
Windows search bar
Because it’s more important for businesses to be able to compete for your eyeballs than it is for you to get a usable product out of the box.
First, it's not a very good analogy. Second, you can put a different radio in your car; you can't remove Teams without removing all of Office. Third, people would be pretty mad at Honda if their cars shipped with a piece of shit radio instead of something at least nice.
Edit: I take back the part about uninstalling Teams. You can do that. I was thinking of Skype for Business.
Do you mean specifically on 11? Because on 10 you absolutely can.
