It used to be pretty bad, back when it was using all the dirty tricks it could invent to build its monopoly. By now though it's just obsolete.
Obsolete? Hardly. The Surface, GamePass, Xbox, GitHub, Skype and just general market dominance says otherwise. They only lost their effective monopoly due to antitrust lawsuits.
Currently, there's lots of better options out there, true, but it's far from obsolete.
Is Skype still a thing? I thought it died soon after MS bought it!
It's Teams, now.
Ugh, Teams. I can't believe Skype and MSN died for this!
It's a phone service and business communications. I have to use it for work
Huh, didn't realise they were still bothering to sell it
