Over the years there is something I've realized about the mainstream user. They do not want the best. They want convenient and 'good enough' and compliant.

All of Microsoft tools work fine, sync really well with each other and integrate natively with existing workflows.

Power users even among devs are a rare breed.

It does make sense to prioritize how well something fits into your overall workflow higher than which tools is the best in a vacuum.

And sync is the one big advantage of Office products. It's a pain to properly sync email, chat, file storage, calendars etc. MSFT has a very compelling way that works for end users and IT alike. Setting this up with products from different vendors is a pain.

That would explain Yammer.

AFAIK they purchased Yammer, it wasn't an in-house product.
