    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.

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

      Skype for Business was really Microsoft Lync with a new name and had little in common with the “true” Skype.
