It's ironic that a company that was well regarded for the quality GUI on their OS is so fucking bad atmaking GUIs now.
Teams, Windows Settings, Azure, even the Microsoft login page, it's all godawful.

I'm sorry, when was Microsoft praised for their GUI?
Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP and 7 are generally regarded as having great UIs.
Of course, we know what happened later:
I maintain that Metro was a very good mobile UI.
Jesus, $20/user/month seems excessive. But def a neat tool.
4.2 (5 ratings)
5 ratings... doesn't really seems like anyone is actually using this. The $20/user/month is probably a hail mary of "Lets throw this product out there, and if just one company with like 100 users accidentally enables this thing, we're good"
Slack does it for free, at that price you can probably afford the Slack subscription instead of using Teams
Fuck MS Teams, absolutely shit.
Since the "new" version it has been shit. Typical big enterprises to break something the users like.
Huh wow didn't know Teams didn't have multiple screen sharing. Nice work.
Something does irk me about the whole approach, though. We have accomplished some amazing stuff in the software world. But Jesus almighty we have some serious interoperability problems, to the point where we literally just send pixels to one another because that's all we've got. Reminds me of that glib statement "the web has become just 4 websites full of screenshots of each other" (or however it goes).
Thanks for the link! My company has been looking for something like this for YEARS, we're definitely gonna give it a look
