Really? Teams is the most sticky? Teams sucks. Excel and PowerPoint are the most sticky parts, and Teams just comes bundled with those.

I agree that Teams sucks, but speaking to people who are locked into the Microsoft environment, they love it.

  • I guess people love having a chat/videoconference tool available.

    As for loving Teams ni particular compared to other solutions, I think it is far from the truth.

Perhaps he has a very narrow definition of "the MS cloud productivity stack"

Windows? Office? Not cloud, in its roots. Active Directory? Entra? Azure? Not productivity. Github? Not MS. Copilot? Not sticky.

Yes in some ways. Teams being bundled means that Slack and other messaging apps have to justify against a sunk-cost solution.

That makes teams very sticky.
