This is Moronic (Score 1)

I for one have a Skype for Business implementation that spans the globe. I have sites in Africa, UK, Brazil, Mexico, Germany Chile, and the US. All of my sites are tied together with Skype for Business. I have SIP trunks to every local PBX at every location so that I can call for free to any of these locations and they can call me. It is EXTREMELY cost effective and versatile. And it just WORKS.. So now they get teams.. It literally is copying a bunch of SKype for business features and really the only one that I see that is really different is the persistent conversation piece and maybe some scheduling. Why the HELL are they replacing SKype for Business with TEAMS when they already have a huge customer base using Skype for Business / Lync and they basically tell us that they will bring parts into Teams when it should be the other way around. They are going to release a piece of crap that is totally cloud dependent that won't have local PSTN support all the while basically ringing the death bell for Skype for Business. It is beyond Mind numbingly stupid. I can't as a technician in all honesty recommend a Microsoft product and have a company create an INFRASTRUCTURE around a product just to have them pull the plug on it for a FEATURE UPGRADE??? WTF????
