I see your Outlook (new) and I raise you Microsoft Teams classic (work or school)

Who could have ever guessed that naming different software the same thing would ever come back to bite them

Microsoft does this painfully often
- And they are doing it again. CoPilot for Windows, CoPilot for Github, CoPilot for sales, CoPilot for Microsoft 365, Bing CoPilot. All different products with different properties.

Soon they will launch their new product, Copy of New Teams Classic (work or school) (2).

Is it like Team Fortress Classic (work or school)?

someone spycheck already, dammit!

MEDIC!!!!

It's been driving me mad on my work laptop,

I cant uninstall the old version and every time i open it it tries to push me to the new version

Better yet - mine keeps trying to push me to the new version, but the (new) version is blocked in my org.

So every time it tries to open, I get a "teams (new) is blocked in your organization." And I have to fight it to go back to the old version.
- Did you know that Outlook has a mobile app? Click here to install....
I just pinned the new version to the taskbar so I don't have to mess around with the old version diversion
My admin hasn't enabled the new version so I just have the old version, if I accidentally click on the new one the entire pc slogs for 5 mins before asking me to use the older version.

For every new release they hire the best UX designers and developers in order to find ways of make your experience worse.

"Well we let half the team go after the last version launched, so you'll have to make due with what they left behind."

Ooh. I made a New/Classic/Diet/Zero joke with my colleagues last week.
I wish I’d thought of Halo, rather than soda. Your version is much better.
- Don't forget original taste!

Reminds me of Skype. It seemed like I always had the wrong version installed, and I couldn't get rid of the broken ones

As if someone took the concept of spaghetti code and applied it to an entire company.

Microsoft should save everyone some headache and delete Teams. These stupid fucks keep giving me an alert saying to export all my saved messages to a csv file because this cunt of a company decided to not carry forward that feature in newer apps.

cucksoft STOP REMOVING FEATURES FROM PAST VERSIONS.

Remember, it's Microsoft... it can't be normal

It's like they never learn. I remember WAY back when Windows NT was new. The NT in Windows NT stands for New Technology.

ELI5 the difference between the white badged Teams and the dark badged Teams

I believe the white one is for personal use.

The (new) dark is the newest teams for organizations.

The (classic) dark is the old teams for organizations.
- Not sure if it's just my device, but I can't drag & drop files into the new Teams for organizations, so I'm still using classic for organizations.
  
  It's ridiculous, and now I need to click through saying "no" to the new version every time I start it.

especially annoying when your school keeps switching between the two.
I joined a meeting on New Teams once, but by the end of it i got a popup saying that access to new teams has been blocked and you need to switch to classic teams.
the next day, we were forced to migrate to new teams again.
a week ago, access to new teams got blocked again, and i had to redownload teams (classic)
