What? Skype was waay better than Teams! It only started turning into dogshit when Microsoft acquired it.

**Edit: Skype, not “Skype For Business”, as others pointed out.

Skype for Business was not Skype. It was the rebranded Office Communicator, which Microsoft started calling Skype for Business after acquiring Skype.

It was basically a bad clone of MSN Messenger.

Yep, you’re right. I remember now.

No problem, I’m not surprised that you blocked that train wreck from your memory.

You mean in 2011?

Skype was only good for its time.

Compared to Teams now, it is sorely lacking

Imagine if it had actively been developed this whole time rather than snatched up and shuttered to further anti-competitive practices…
