I guess that means they don't have an XBox or play a lot of PC games? Maybe they prefer Nintendo or PlayStation?

I too would be wary of anyone working at Microsoft (or Oracle, or Salesforce, or SoftTech, or Tata or a bank).
tbf though, which other Microsoft project could he have said that would not have gotten himself kicked out?
Clippy designer.
The whole notion of LSP has been nice.
C# is a decent language. I'll stick with Java because the api ecosystem is so vast.
Flight Simulator maybe. Age of Empires.. not sure how much they are tied into that anymore though
Did you see the launch of flight sim 2024?
No, what happened (gets popcorn)
Well, they decided to launch mostly via cloud, which greatly reduced my install requirements, however, it also didn’t work, and had input issues. The servers couldn’t handle load at launch(shocking).
They also added weird sounding AI voice over to everything that sucks.
Then, they promised backward compatibility with any aircraft purchased in 2020 and launched 2024 without a content manager or the said backward compatibility.
That’s only scratching the surface too. I think it should and would have been delayed if 2024 wasn’t in the title and Microsoft would have had to eat crow if it didn’t release in 24.
Shit, that blows. Make a decent product for over 40 years and didn't think to load test and have everything proper for launch. That's sad
Mouse without borders is pretty rad
Better him than whatever sewer dweller is responsible for Amazon chime.
Speaking as a developer myself, it's likely not the devs' fault that Teams is as shit as it is. They are all intimately familiar with its shortcomings and are perfectly able and willing to fix them, but are prevented from doing so by management who insist that shovelling crapware down their customers' throats is far more important.
Honestly, what I find frustrating with Teams is that both MSN Messenger and Skype were right there. It's not even an issue of copyright or trademark as MS owns both. Even just lazily re-branding Skype would have been head-and-shoulders above what we have now.
Teams is the evolution of the excellent Microsoft Lync which then became the horrible Skype for Business which then was replaced by the superior Microsoft teams.
What is it people don't like about Teams? It's mostly about integration with SharePoint
It's that. It's been a hot minute, but (IIRC) for me it was the less-than-great UI/UX that really adds up to a high friction experience. Especially when compared with software like Slack or Discord.

I had to use Teams for a hybrid conference. I used a Black Magic ATEM as my capture and the team's camera kept crashing. Checked every setting imaginable. Yet when I used OBS Virtual Camera as my video source and used the ATEM through OBS there wasn't a problem.
What a pile of garbage. That we rely on teams at my org causes me endless frustration.

What else could he say to not be thrown out? Dude works at Microsoft
Teams is one of those things I don't understand why companies use. Just why
When I used to install collaboration systems, the main thing clients would tell me why they chose say a Logitech Rally with MS Teams over Cisco and WebEx was it's cheaper. With that said you can setup a Cisco Room Kit with Teams integration.
Because it's bundled in their office subscriptions
Microsoft bundles all of their software in a way that makes it much more expensive to pick and choose which software you want from Microsoft and which one you would want from someone else. It's a very similar strategy to that of Adobe.
Because they needed a way to attempt to micromanage during COVID, and to do it ASAP.
