And that was just the install process. Soon you'll start using it and you'll quickly come to despise anything Windows-related. A good tangent is this absolutely marvelous video put out by the Microsoft Teams people, where they compare the performance of the "classic" version to the brand-new version. A sight to behold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT7nnXej2K4

Oh wow, they unironically posted a video that a chat application takes 9 seconds to launch. What is wrong with computing?

...and they're congratulating themselves on having reduced the memory overhead of a chat app from ~1GB to ~500MB.

> Congratulations to the Microsoft Teams team on all their hard work! Maybe in a few years we won't have to watch Teams draw itself like a Windows 1.x application on contemporary hardware!

Hilarious :-)))

Maybe we can make a comparison with 2001 MSN messenger and it’s more or less instant appearance?

I really thought this was satire, at first. How low are the expectations from 2020s hardware?

Maybe they made the original Teams version terribly slow so that they can remove some sleep statements to get it down to 9 seconds for 2x faster startup, collect fat bonuses, do nothing for three years and then remove another sleep 5 and release Teams 3 to start in 4 seconds for another 2x start time improvement and another round of bonuses.
