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.

    I think their first use of CoPilot was for pairing two Xbox controllers together for accessibility. Instead of making up something new, they just co-opt it from that and now it's going to be impossible to google Copilot for Xbox Controllers issues.

    Oh well, glad I made the switch to Linux.

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

    I had this as well, it’s because the pinned version will still be pointing to the old version even after you agreed to upgrade.

    You have to unpin the old version, and pin the new version.

    Reallllly stupid upgrade from them.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    I hate that I know this, but new Teams is based on WebView2 (Microsoft's version of electron), and dragging and dropping files is semi-broken for ALL WebView2 apps 🙃

    (The only other WV2 app I know of is New Outlook)

    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)
