Thats because Teams is just a frontend to SharePoint Online.

SPOL is even worse a tirefire than, say, even Lotus Notes. And it's in Electron on top of that, so its 10x slower than a real non-browser application.

Ive only rarely seen Microsoft put out actual good software. The last time was Windows 2000. Now, that was some quality software.

No wonder they just tossed Skype in the trash. This explains so much.

To be fair, Lotus Notes is what we had back in the mid 90's. There really wasn't much else like it. But comparing that today... (checks notes) ...oh. It's still a thing?!

So, neither Lotus Notes (now "HCL Notes" apparently?) or SharePoint have any excuse being as bad as they are. There are a dozen other far more capable examples of this kind of technology. I'm routinely amazed at how bad MS' user experience continues to be, even with all the money and engineers at their disposal.

Yeah in the end teams is an electron based view of SharePoint in a trench coat pretending to be a chat program and so much more

It was good, but IIS had some faults, can't remember what, they wanted to replace it quickly with 2003. There isn't much wrong with Windows XP, objectively speaking.

Prior to iis 9, if you use the GUI to change a SSL cert of a site, it would change ALL sites to that cert.

You had to use powershell iis commandlet to change per site.

The newest IIS finally fixed that.
