Have been using it for over a year now.&lt;p&gt;Fwiw - I don’t understand why it’s hated. It’s a collaboration tool - mainly messaging and conferencing. It’s been decent at that for me.</text></comment>

In what era M$ was based on such idea? In 80&amp;#x27;s when Bill&amp;amp;Co. did whatever they could to undermine OS&amp;#x2F;2, DR-DOS &amp;amp; LaTex? Or in 90&amp;#x27;s when Bill&amp;#x27;s lap dogs were threatening OEM manufactures to automatically include DOS and later Windows as default operating system in their systems? Or maybe it was 2000&amp;#x27;s when Ballmer did everything it could to stop Linux and later a rather spectacular fail to stop Android&amp;#x2F;iOS with their Nokia acquisition&amp;#x2F;spin-off of WinCE? Wait wait, you talk about maybe 2010&amp;#x27;s with Nadella&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;Microsoft loves Linux&amp;quot; BS campaign only to try again to undermine it with WSL and now WSL2? And in latest years with a string of acquisitions, GitHub included, to have access to people&amp;#x27;s greatest single skill, I mean creativity. Because software is an art and you need creativity, something that in face of current AI progression will remain our single advantage.&lt;p&gt;Lemme tell you something, the only thing that matters and ever mattered to Microsoft, regardless of decade was $$$. Nothing else. Everything else was just secondary effect.</text></comment>
