"Ooh, shiny" says Gartner ... not really surprising, MS is paying them a lot

""For them, this isn't a wait-until-V3 Microsoft product of the past," he said. "Teams impressed from the start.""

Only if you are Microsoft puppet like Gartner.

It *is* "wait until V3"- product as it's frankly horrible mishmash of "features" no-one has bothered to think and 1/3 of the screen (laptop) is filled with thoroughly unnecessary shit you can't disable, resize (except even larger) or remove. At all.

So called "windows" which aren't windows as they aren't closable, but just areas in main window. Which of course *don't* scale with main window, but it instead drops the area where you can write off *first*. Brilliant work, MS.

Obviously everybody needs an unmovable 15cm wide list of 1 channel on left side of the screen.

Slack isn't much better: Poor copy of IRC and the designers hasn't had a clue why IRC works like it does.
