When I install both the flatpak and the system's package manager version.
-
Think my work PC has 3 different versions of Outlook
-
Damn, and I thought having one instance of 365 Outlook launch on boot even tho they stopped paying for it was stupid.
-
They at least don't launch on boot
-
-
I have to use a client-provided laptop from time to time, from a big ass org. Outlook stopped working recently, I called it in, they didn't even attempt a fix, just told me to use a browser instead lmao

I had a lady at work the other day that had 3 different versions of Outlook and she opened the 2 of the 3 that just don't work. An update replaced the desktop shortcut and added a new worse version.

And yet people think Linux (mint) is so hard to use and absolutely no replacement for windows.
Linux: go to app store, click install. Done
Windows: go to app store, click install done.
Literally the same process, only Linux doesn't randomly update your apps and make them crash. My windows installation at work literally had 3 outlook variants at some point (just like you mentioned) and none of them worked.
I literally never was forced to use the terminal in Linux (well I did but not because I had to) and in windows I have to do shitty things in the register to get back functions (like that terrible decision to hide the "refresh" in the context menu).
I genuinely think MS has gone down the enshittification route and I'm not just preaching to the choir. I have every day (sadly have to use it at work) annoyances with windows and Linux just works..

We have Teams set to automatically launch for every user at login, even though we don’t use it in our organization in any way.
-
We use teams, skype is still in our auto launch
-
I forget that still exists.

We did the opposite. Teams is prevented from even installing any components by our endpoint security. Same with OneDrive.
The only downside is that Office installs have to be handled manually due to needing to click a couple errors screens. Office updates work fine, just new installs. Small price to pay.
-
Wait, you're using your security platform to control Windows components like they're malware? If I'm getting that right and not making a mountain out of a molehill, that's amazing lol
-
Seeing how you wrote "opposite", I expected you prevented it even though requiring employees to use it :D
-
Genuine question - why block onedrive if you are licensed for it?
-
-
Last year they fixed our group policy that repinned internet explorer to your taskbar on every boot.
-
Teams will load, and we don't use it. Even better, other things we do use will break if teams isn't logged into correctly.
-
-
I'd use the new one
-
That narrows it down to 2 of the 2 options
-
Yep
-
-
-
Then when you have a meeting, you open teams it says you're not licensed for this version and to contact you company administration so you open the other one and can't log in
-
Couldn't this be the web version fighting the installed application?
-
No, Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, made a new teams, which they called "New Teams" to differentiate it from the old teams, known as "Teams." the old teams was installed newer so its the new old teams, whereas the new teams is old.
Hope this helps!

From the geniuses who brought you the XBox One, not to be confused with the XBox that came first. And the XBox Series X, not to be confused with the XBox One X.

They didn’t just…update Teams? That’s insanity, but I also just fought with bluetooth drivers on Thursday on my PC and it was a fucking disaster mess shitshow. My favourite part was knowing that the control panel is still there and functional even though there’s “settings” now, which does essentially the same stuff but also it’s different and also if you’re a new user or not paying attention you might not even know the control panel exists.
Not only is it bad to start but they seem intent on making it worse with every update.

Don't think so, this screenshot looks older to me and was probably taken during the transition to the Teams rewrite, Teams (new). So the user has both old and new Teams installed, which was a common occurrence as you could switch between them with a toggle button.
