At a time of growing concern over the power of the world's mighty tech companies, one German state is turning its back on US giant Microsoft.

In less than three months' time, almost no civil servant, police officer or judge in Schleswig-Holstein will be using any of Microsoft's ubiquitous programs at work.

At my work all but me love microsoft. But ..... They started to complain about teams too. I only use the chat because it's impossible to avoid.

Literally no one I work with likes Teams but we keep using it because that's just what we do. Other options basically don't exist simply by virtue of being either not Microsoft or not overwhelmingly the market leader.

At mine the person in charge of IT procurement is an ex Microsoft salesman.

My work hate Microsoft but don't see a viable alternative. Microsoft is safer because of their stranglehold.
