Why are you not getting the job you want?
Microsoft Teams? Everyone thought it might be Slack competitor but MSFT is only interested with Office 365 Suite? Why? They should release as a consumer product as well. It will be really great if they do. PS : I like MS Teams so far.
Yeah, but it still fucking sucks
Outlook is the most used email product. It makes me want to kill myself.
Microsoft is an enterprise company. Why would they make a consumer version? If there were enterprises playing games they would make Xbox an enterprise system and stick with it. That is where the money is. They don't care for small timer like Slack users who pay $30 subscription fee
Think about the user base and user data. Once you have consumer data then its really easy to integrate with N number of applications. Userbase is also one more important thing. Slack is everywhere, even you can see slack now in Company pages for help/discussion forums.
Xbox live was the consumer version to test scalability of the cloud. 10 years ago when it launched, unknowingly, it payed the seeds for high uptime cloud connectivity - that is now used in azure. In this case, a consumer product helped in creating the base for an enterprise market.
Integration is a good advantage. Consumers have Skype?
Skype, not sure how many ppl are using.
try google or bing
OP - did you just acquire your business wisdom from the first coursera lecture?
MSFT doesn't know how to do business
Eh, because they don't have to be. MS sells to the buyer, and they've perfected that sell.
that's short term business dude then.
Cause its hard to straddle consumer and enterprise markets. I'd say we are getting better but have miles to go esp since enterprise businesses are doing so well. Though its relatively early days... Amazon is probably the only company that effectively operates in both worlds and Microsoft has a lot to learn from you guys.
Agree with you points. MSFT has a lot potential but I don't know what the fuck they are doing with these many Number of Employees.
Its pretty much a monopoly business. So.......
Xbox ?
