  • I’m pretty neutral about the mere existence of software I’m not interested in using.

    • I think MS assumes no one will use it. But having Linux builds of some of their software enhances their “MS loves Linux” marketing.

      Teams is another example.

      • MS no longer produces an official Teams binary for Linux. (Correct me if they’ve started doing so again)

        • Fair – what I meant was more about the Teams binary kind of not being needed at all (you can use the web version without it). So having a Linux binary explicitly just seems a little weird, marketing aside.

          • The main reason for building it dedicated instead of as a browser tab is to easily identify it on my task bar as it’s own thing.
