Microsoft could drop one of Windows 11’s most pointless features
It looks like Microsoft is in trouble again with European Union regulators over anti-competitive practices, and it could sacrifice Teams inWhile I don’t usually applaud companies for removing features from their products, in this case it would be a good move.
However, despite Microsoft bundling in Teams via the Chat app, it never properly took off. Most people use the likes of Facebook and WhatsApp for instant messaging these days. That wouldn’t be much of an issue, but not only is Chat pre-installed in Windows 11, you can’t uninstall it. Add it to the list of other apps you don’t want to use but are installed anyway, and Windows 11 can start feeling rather bloated.
However, it doesn’t seem like Microsoft is doing this voluntarily. As Windows Latest points out, the EU is keeping a close eye on Microsoft and how it combines its products like Office and Teams with Windows 11, which could give those products an unfair advantage over rivals.
