Purchasable products don't make as much money. That's all there is to it. Quality held constant a product charging a regular fee will earn more over the long run.
They even have express services to port your Skype services over to them, some of which are done at no extra charge. Microsoft is basically handing their competitors free users.
Teams is absolute dog shite. Their DEI programmers focused more on idiotic features than the actual functioning of the video conference part. e.g. extremely high CPU and resource usage, inefficient video and audio codecs etc.
Seeing how no-one really cares about Skype and Teams is widely used in all offices, makes sense product wise.
However, just as I hate Google that YOU are the product for all their software, I hate how EVERYTHING is a subscription with Microsoft.
Everything is a subscription because Microsoft no longer makes products worth purchasing. Change my mind.

No need to change your mind. Mark my words, one of these days windows will be a sub only too. Not yet but in the future.
I'll probably end up paying the same amount for windows then as I do now...
They don't really give a shit about consumers pirating because enterprise is where they make all of their licensing money.
The pajeet in charge is doing his job
You can still buy non-subscription versions of office (I do)
Skype was great until Microsoft bought them out and made the UI far more confusing.
It was sabotage.
Fuck Skype. Fuck Teams. Fuck Microsoft.
Zoom must be happy, their primary competitor was just taken out back and put down....

>kill msn messenger which was a simple program that just worked in favor of a bloated mess that ran like shit
>wanna see me do it again?
Skype used to be so awesome. Then Microsoft bought it.
"Embrace, Extend and Extinguish". It's the Microsoft way.

Good, Teams is actually somewhat useful.
Oh great. After continuously making it worse, they are now killing it.
