I would love to know what they classify as a daily active user. My expectation would be someone who sends or receives a message, but I would never have expected the numbers to be so high. Maybe they're counting everyone who signs into their O365 account who has a Teams subscription. |

While the press have been blinded by MS's nonsense "we L..... Linux" campaign nobody seams to have noticed that their office department is playing the same dirty games MS got fined over a decade ago in forcing every office user to obtain a O365 subscription and putting a tremendeous amount a presure on their SME customers to obtain the full O365 stack which include teams(which MS insists is replacing skype for business).
Remember also that MS marketing is almost 110% tailored to the now aging set of SME admins that entered the market doing the transition from big iron to winNT networks in the 90ies and who depend on MS Certified courses and books for all of their formal IT training and that SME market where those Teams deployments comes from, if you have an Teams subscription and a "i only know the MS stack" mindset you are not going to deploy stack no matter how much more your users prefer it to Teams.
And the "We love linux on Azure" marketing is exactly that narrow, the same day it was announced MS killed of any feature they ever had that made it easier to integrate Linux* into wintel networks, making it clear to all but the clueless that it's only about headless linux guest running comodity web frameworks running inside azure or hyperV then any change in MS attitude towards competitors and that was forced on them by the fact that the webdev market was/is dominated by OSX clients and linux servers.
*SFU and RFC2307 support was dropped along with the teams/skype clients for linux the same week they started raving about linux CLI's being usable from windows clients.
