The way Microsoft “won” with Teams was through monopolistic bundling it into Windows and Office. To this day most people don’t like using Teams for chat, but because it’s there by default there’s not a good reason to go through the hassle of bringing on another product.

>> To this day most people don’t like using Teams for chat

People will say the same thing about Slack, email, and any other messaging system they are forced to use. People love to complain, especially if they're coming to a product after using a different one at a previous job.

I don't know anyone who prefer Teams over Slack.
Slack huddles and screen share are trash even compared to Teams let alone Zoom.
I do.

But anecdotal evidence isn't worth much.

And that will last until the regulators start cracking down on that monopoly like they started cracking down on Google...
