Microsoft Office software collapsed, global workers are ecstatic: champagne is actually opened to celebrate

These days, every once in a while, you can see that someone’s software has crashed, and then go on a hot search or something like that. On July 21, another piece of software crashed, and many people said that it could not be used normally, and this time it was not only domestic, but also a global office software.

It’s Microsoft Teams from giant Microsoft.

Poor friends may not know much about Teams, because most of the time in China, they use software such as Tencent Meeting, Feishu or DingTalk. However, there are many foreign companies in China, and when they communicate with some large companies, the frequency of Teams is also quite high.

But usually, when a piece of software crashes, everyone will go to the Internet to scold at the speed of light, either delaying their surfing on the Internet, or delaying their study or work.

However, when Shichao opened his Twitter and wanted to see how foreigners felt when they encountered a software crash, the first picture that appeared was this: Damn, open champagne! ! !

Good guy, it’s the first time I’m so happy to see the software crash. . . Shichao stroked down again and found that everyone was celebrating like a New Year’s Eve. . . I cried, I pretended ▼

Others are more direct, the old lady directly performs a punch card to get off work and leave.

Even domestic companies didn’t miss this opportunity, and Lenovo’s Bilibili account also joined in the fun, bluntly combining the Teams incident with Crazy Thursday. . .

Everyone seems to be celebrating the collapse of Teams, but from a laborer’s point of view, not having to go to work is a joy.

However, after Shichao’s colleague Milo knew about this, he also began to applaud. . . I said stop, don’t we use Feishu, why did you celebrate when Teams collapsed? Later, Shichao ran to the Internet to find out that the reason why everyone was celebrating the collapse of Teams was because they didn’t have to go to work and the second reason. . .

Teams is so hard to use that it deserves to crash. . . When Microsoft started this Teams, it naturally wanted to have a place in the multi-person office software. After all, its own Office family bucket is a must for social animals. How can there be less collaborative office software?

Teams was born in 2017. In fact, this time node is not too late for an online office software.

But Teams’ origins were complicated from the start, due to Microsoft’s consistently disorganized software development and product lines, as well as its outrageous “rename department.” A long time ago, Microsoft had an online office software called Lync, but later changed its name to Skype for Business.

Yes, it is the very ancient video calling software Skype. In fact, it has a business version, that is, a special version for social animals. . . At the same time, Microsoft also wants to promote online paperless learning to schools, and launched a Microsoft Classroom in 2016.

Then a year later the thing went offline. . . Later, with the popularity of online multi-person office, I don’t know who said, let’s make an online office software! By the way, the social animal version of Skype and Microsoft Classroom are all replaced!

Anyway, after such a toss, Microsoft finally has a serious online office software. But that sentence is how to say, replaced, but not completely replaced. . . Because Teams originally wanted to focus on team communication, similar to the Feishu we usually use. As a result, I don’t know what’s wrong with Microsoft, and they added a personal chat function to it. . .

Shichao thinks that work and personal life should still be separated. For example, I will use Feishu to communicate with colleagues, but if I chat with friends, I will definitely choose to use QQ and WeChat. . .

And according to a colleague, the back end of Teams is actually still Skype, which is a doll’s set. . . Not only is the origin and positioning of Teams confusing, it is also very speechless to use. You can even simply and rudely tell how difficult Baidu Teams is to use, and you will find that there are already many people complaining about it on the Internet.

Not to mention anything else, even the most basic of logging in and staying online is a problem, which I’ve encountered a few times myself. . .

And there’s something even more outrageous than not being able to log in, which is that Teams doesn’t recognize your account at all.

A colleague said that after an update of the Android version of Teams, even Microsoft’s own live mailbox could not log in. . . Shichao didn’t believe in this evil at first, but he tried it himself and found that Teams on the Android side really couldn’t log in.

I really don’t understand that my own account can’t log in to my own software. I suspect that Microsoft is targeting Android. . . Looking at it this way, the reason why Teams collapsed, and a group of people were cheering and frantically expressing expressions, one was because they didn’t have to go to work, and the other was because this thing was not easy to use.

Anyway, using a software that is not easy to use is also a kind of torment, and it can be considered a relief if it collapses. . . Shichao feels that these complaints are more like a helpless move, which means “if you can make use of it, you can still resign”. This is not a virus, it is Microsoft’s Teams ▼

However, Teams is not useless, there are still many companies choosing it, and some people on Zhihu think that some functions are still good.

For example, the ability to customize emoticons, a rich application store, support for co-working with Office, etc., are all reasons for people to choose Teams.

However, Shichao still doesn’t like Microsoft’s idea of ​​​​is one out. Not only is the product naming method very confusing, but the product positioning is not clear enough. At least if you ask me what software I use for multi-person office and video conferencing, I will answer Feishu and Zoom, not Microsoft Teams. But in any case, the Teams crash this time should be the most joyous crash that netizens have ever seen. . .
