      Hello Karel!   
      
   11 May 21 23:53, you wrote to me:

   I regularily log into WebEx meetings on my Mac, but that has only been the   
   case for the last 7 months or so. Quite possible that Cisco did some tweaking   
   on their Mac client? And we used to have Skype for Business at work, until I   
   was finally able (as in "allowed") to migrate us to Teams. No issues since   
   then, but the SfB client had some stupid limitations on the Mac. I guess   
   "feature parity" for Mac OS on SfB isn't high on Microsoft's priority list,   
   since SfB is more or less a dead platform/product.   
      
    KK> I mean, I do not like Microsoft OS so much as well. But is a business

   Yup, same here. I used to say "I was young and needed the money". The second   
   part still applies, the first... But at least I can do my work from a Mac,   
   which helps with some of the pain. :-)   
      
    KK> And honestly these Teams really connected "us".   
      
   MS Teams is indeed great, feature parity across at leaast Windows and Mac   
   (with some features on Mac maybe 2-3 weeks behind at most, which in most cases   
   isn't a big issue), and not too bad mobile apps, either. There's even a   
   version running natively on Linux (Ubuntu recommended, I think?), not sure how   
   up-to-date that one is compared to the Win and Mac editions. And there's   
   always the Web client, which honestly isn't that far behind, either. I take it   
   MS would prefer people to connect to their services using Windows, but the   
   main point is that people connect to their services and have a cloud   
   subscription. "Cloud first, mobile first" I believe is their mission   
   statement. Seems to be working just fine for them.   
      
      
   Regards   
   Fermin
