What Are You Doing Right Now

@dafyre I personally don't like much about it either. It feels like AOL Messenger with how we use it.
The calling feature, is okay but has a practical limitation if you wanted handsets (softphone only boys).
The message tracking/searching is fundamentally flawed, and the chat features are difficult to use, like adding people or doing a basic search for history.
It doesn't need to be this difficult..

Ha. I'd hope it works a little better. We mainly use it for video calling and group calls. I use it for chatting (we're stuck with Cisco Jabber as the alternative, lol) with my team and other folks.
I don't have to do the message search too often, but it usually find what I'm looking for.
I definitely agree that it doesn't need to be so difficult. And they need to quit moving stuff around so much!

@dafyre Honestly though, think back to AOL Messenger, it was dead simple and worked. (granted different era) but you could add people to a room, search for people/content(messages) and do just about everything that it seems Teams is attempting to.
There is nothing special about Teams in the service it offers, and its also so costly to just have access too.
Even NodeBB (this forum) works better for the very same things I've mentioned above.

I find that I agree with you in this, lol. Even the facepalm.... But Teams is new and improved, right?

I cannot possible state what a trainwreck of steaming shit Teams is.
What do you not like about teams? It's not the greatest in the world, but it's certainly not the worst. We use it extensively here at my day job. AFAIK, we're not having any major issues with it.
Big things for me.... it simply doesn't work. No matter what platform I'm on, whether it is installed or not, it just doesn't work.
Even on the rare occasion that it works it is SO slow. Twenty or thirty seconds to load a meeting, for example.

I blame that on the fact that you have always had some sort of problems with your Microsoft accounts, lol. They have your account on an old and slow server that should have been retired sometime around the time Windows 3.1 was released, lol.

downloading w10 iso via media creation tool.
2 hours in, i've got a whopping 7% of it.i only chose the 32 bit version, it should only take half as long to download as the 64 bit version right?

Currently, my issues are mainly:
I'm now a member of 2 teams (separate tenancies/organisations) and either have to keep switching between organisations or have one of them open in the web version... unnecessarily tediousThe search function blows chunks, looking for something 6 months ago? it'll find you the >exact< message, but provide no context as it won't bring up the surrounding messages.
Granted, it's orders of magnitude better than Jabber but that may just be down to the implementation but things just don't seem to be easy.
I can't say with certainty that I'd specifically pay for it.

@siringo no.. the bit type has nothing to do with the installation source size.

while i've got you here, who now makes good office printers? Print runs of 5-20 pages, duplexing, colour, networked.
HP & Canon used to be the bees knees, Kyocera seem reliable, but I'm not a fan, Lexmark are .. Oki, don't really know.

Define good. Printers are a commodity. Brand doesn't matter much but what class of printer you are buying do. I'd pick the one with the best warranty and lowest cost (including toner).
You also forgot Brother and Xerox in your line-up.

Copier wise, we swapped to Kyocera.
Small office printers I look at HP, and now more recently Kyocera.Don't like Brother, Fuji-Xerox, Ricoh for small office printers. I find that they're either cheap (the bad kind) or just generally craptastic for a work environment.
