    They are not killing Skype, they just now bury the corpse. Skype died by malnutrion and bad parenting by MS a decade ago.

      I was going to say it couldn’t have been a decade but then I realized the last time I used Skype was about 2015 2016…

      Well, they’re doing what they already have been and absorbing it into teams. Teams video chat is littered with the bits of leftover Skype tech references, they’re just making sure it’s an enterprise product they can bill monthly for instead of a free consumer product

        I find 365 to be a terrible mess if applications, outlook and teams have a calendar separate to the calendar app. Teams sucks

        Teams is skype4biz, which was Lync, which was MSCommunicator…which was a shitty netMeeting.

        The Skype you seen in Teans[sic] is not the same animal.

      I used it only the other day. Worked flawlessly.

      In related news, when I turned on the tap in my kitchen, water still came out. And it’s been installed for yeeears.
