Microsoft Teams is the dumb shit software that gets installed with the rest of the core Office Suite you actually want. By default it launches on startup and asks you do to all this shit for a software nobody likes or uses. Take a cue from Google and stop promoting shit that fails horribly, Microsoft.

Adobe Creative Cloud is somehow worse. It has a setting you can check to specifically not run on Startup, and then it will STILL RUN ON STARTUP. But you know what's particularly fucked up? I'm now scared to disable it in Task Manager's boot settings because last time I did that, it fucked my OS and I had to refresh my computer. What the holy hell??? I just want to use Photoshop!

Add Creative Cloud to your list of blocked applications on Windows firewall?

Teams is at least better than Skype, which I know isn't saying much, but yeah Zoom is infinitely better. MS knows this and is why they are shoving it down people's throats.

As for Adobe, fuck anything Adobe. A fine example of locking software down so tight that paying consumers suffer while the pirates have little issue.

This is why open source software is so important.

I didnt have Teams on my work PC until we actually started using it. Not sure how it automatically installed with your office.

If you look in your list of installed programs there is an intrusive "Teams profile wide" installer. Every 365 install puts that on so anyone who logs into a new profile will get Teams launched at startup.

Fuck teams, my company just uses discord for working online. I don't know why more haven't.

Actually, I do know why more haven't. It's too complex for many to set up or understand, which is kinda sad.

Also fuck the Office Suite. Just use Google drive/docs/sheets/slides etc. Collaboration and permissions are so damn nice and easy.

Maybe it works different for enterprise?
