Perhaps there will be a Teamsbook soon, like a Chromebook, but a laptop that only runs Teams and all its add-ins

I thought Microsoft was going down the virtual desktop approach.

Ha, I’d only just seen it at Te Toka Tumai and it’s dead already. I’m sure there’s a theme there about us always being 10 years behind :rofl:

I just noticed the amusing headline “Microsoft kills off …” I didn’t need to read the rest.
