Off topic, but does anyone understand what's going on with the 'new' version which is entitled "Microsoft Teams (Work and School)", such that the app name on MacOS (in the menu bar!) is that?

I assume it's to disambiguate it from the 'classic' version, but seems like an odd name to use?

I'd +1 on how bad Teams is in general: a few weeks ago I got a popup in it saying "We've made teams even better!", and I thought "I bet you haven't".

Does anyone know if MS use it themselves?

I took that to be mobile app store spam tactics bleeding over into the desktop app stores (hardly the first, but certainly a prominent app from a major developer stooping to new lows - hmm, this is MS, maybe I should just say 'different lows').

Yes, extensively.
