They had the goto platform with MSN then they shut it down. Then they had Skype and as much as I try to like Microsoft and not hate on them and say they screwed thing up when it just feels like a meme to say so:
They totally ruined Skype. I dont use it anymore. I think my first issue was skids getting my IP without effort.
On MSN one somewhat similar though not as critical annoyance was locking people out of logging on to their account by brute forcing the login instead of banning the IP from logging on they punished the actual owner of the account.
Back to Skype... Then they ruined sync on Mobile. You login to your phone and it stalls because instead of pulling in as many messages as you can scroll up one pages worth or only the unread ones, they wanted to pull in the whole chat history like a blockchain update which put Skype to its crawl.
Now they have teams and I would love to use that. It looks awesome but its a little late Microsoft. I guess new Microsoft centered shops will use it. Slack and co are rooted into businesses now instead.
Skype was fine before Microsoft sad to say. Dear Microsoft: stop screwing up Skype.
