A windows dialogue saying "Select an app to open this ‘msteams’ link. The suggested apps are Microsoft teams, with a “new” subtext, and MicroSoft Teams, with the word new in its icon.

I’d use the new one
That narrows it down to 2 of the 2 options
Yep
I had a lady at work the other day that had 3 different versions of Outlook and she opened the 2 of the 3 that just don’t work. An update replaced the desktop shortcut and added a new worse version.
And yet people think Linux (mint) is so hard to use and absolutely no replacement for windows.
Linux: go to app store, click install. Done
Windows: go to app store, click install done.
Literally the same process, only Linux doesn’t randomly update your apps and make them crash. My windows installation at work literally had 3 outlook variants at some point (just like you mentioned) and none of them worked.
I literally never was forced to use the terminal in Linux (well I did but not because I had to) and in windows I have to do shitty things in the register to get back functions (like that terrible decision to hide the “refresh” in the context menu).
I genuinely think MS has gone down the enshittification route and I’m not just preaching to the choir. I have every day (sadly have to use it at work) annoyances with windows and Linux just works…
Then when you have a meeting, you open teams it says you’re not licensed for this version and to contact you company administration so you open the other one and can’t log in
Nah man, we have all migrated to new teams.
When I install both the flatpak and the system’s package manager version.
Couldn’t this be the web version fighting the installed application?
No, Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, made a new teams, which they called “New Teams” to differentiate it from the old teams, known as “Teams.” the old teams was installed newer so its the new old teams, whereas the new teams is old.
Hope this helps!
From the geniuses who brought you the XBox One, not to be confused with the XBox that came first. And the XBox Series X, not to be confused with the XBox One X.
When Apple had the iPhone X instead of the 10, it was a little weird but if made sense at least. And they didn’t go X > 10, but 9 > X > 11. I still don’t know what the Xbox was trying to do with the Series X, but I’m not sure they did either. And why “series”, what is that supposed to even mean?!
Terrible use of
😄
This handy graphic should clear everything up
Don’t forget about the second xbox, the xbox 360. The xbox one is the third xbox.
They didn’t just…update Teams? That’s insanity, but I also just fought with bluetooth drivers on Thursday on my PC and it was a fucking disaster mess shitshow. My favourite part was knowing that the control panel is still there and functional even though there’s “settings” now, which does essentially the same stuff but also it’s different and also if you’re a new user or not paying attention you might not even know the control panel exists.
Not only is it bad to start but they seem intent on making it worse with every update.
The older variant of Teams was delivered with Office and is an Electron app, the newer variant was delivered as part of Windows 11 and uses a shared Edge view (basically Electron but Edge-based and memory-shared)…
I think there are also feature differences, as in: The newer version has fewer features.
Incredible move. Who the hell makes these decisions?!
I love when I dig for a setting in settings, and it opens a control panel window.
Don’t think so, this screenshot looks older to me and was probably taken during the transition to the Teams rewrite, Teams (new). So the user has both old and new Teams installed, which was a common occurrence as you could switch between them with a toggle button.
