Microsoft Teams announced
-
Checked it out yesterday and went back to Slack. I'll wait until Microsoft launches the full version early next year.
-
They have multiple options for this already. This is getting crazy. Teams, Skype for Business and Yammer all doing the same things.

Yes, but they are all spelled differently.

And, they will all be abandoned as soon as they are fully functional and competitive with other's offerings

Yammer has been around far too long for its own good.

Yammer is a discussion platform with very limited functionality.
From the initial use of teams it's is close to O365 groups but with more features. Good to see that it can integrate with external connectors. The channels reminds me of slack and they probably added the features of groups to it. All on sharepoint in the background.
I guess if team picks up pace it could replace yammer ,Skype for business and may be groups too. May be its the first sign of MS abandoning yammer that they moved their yammer network to a new site outside yammer recently.

The blog post says
"Starting today, Microsoft Teams is available in preview in 181 countries and in 18 languages to commercial customers with Office 365 Enterprise or Business plans"but here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/Microsoft-teams/setup it says you need one of the following plans:
Office 365 Midsize Business
Office 365 Enterprise E1, E3, or E5
Office 365 Education
Office 365 DeveloperThere is no mention of Office 365 Business there. Which is what I have. So it doesn't look like I can get it. Also, as far as I'm aware, "Midsize Business" no longer exists, so why are they listing that? Bar stewards.
I really don't know why I continue to bother with Microsoft. The hoops you have to jump through is ridiculous. Even if I could get Teams up and running, they'll likely just kill it in a couple of years anyway, or at least remove it from my O365 subscription and try and force me to upgrade to an E3 account, so what's the point?

I checked and we did not get it here, yet.

Oh sure, THEY get access to it. They aren't even an IT company.

Microsoft Office 365... where your customers always get the products before you are even allowed to see them. The "new IT" where you are forced to support products you aren't allowed to try out yourself.

We are too, but didn't get it.

Oh! Not sure how MS chooses their tenants to roll out. I am surprised to see that we the customers in the middle east get first before you guys in the US! Most of the other vendors releases latest versions, hardware etc first to US and then later on the our region

We seem to be on some release schedule that always puts us a bit behind.
