That’s all.

EDIT: Thank you all for detailing your experience with, and hatred for, this miserable product. Your display of solidarity is inspiring. Now, say it with me:

Fuck Microsoft

I use it daily and think it's excellent. Skype, on the other hand, is diabolical.

Can confirm. The UI alone is atrocious.

It was a few years ago, but I still panic when I hear the incoming call sound. One of the worst sounds ever made.

It's particularly bad now that it's forcibly embedded into every computer, and at the forefront.

You can't hit Win-C by mistake any more, since Windows will instead open a window to "chat with friends and family" by trying to install Teams. (Which makes it particularly bad on my end is that the install broke, so it will randomly pop up later with "Cannot install teams at the moment. Please try again later.")

I'm sick of notifications not coming through on Teams. Fucking piece of shit program.

I'm sick of imaginary notifications coming through and making my taskbar flash, only to open it up and NOTHING IS THERE.

365 is just shiiiit. Even Google's stuff (free) is far better and less intrusive/annoying.

Today it decided to not mark messages read after I had opened them.
