If they offered it a la carte I would be a lot more interested. Our company is just getting over Microsoft hegemony. I'll never be part of getting back into that by buying Microsoft services that are intertwined.


Buying the cheapest SKU of O365 that has Microsoft Teams is actually cheaper than per-person cost for Slack.


For now it is. If service income is to replace on premise licenses the price will have to go up.


Disagree. People had fairly long upgrade cycles on desktop office before office365. A subscription provides more reliable income.


Most of Microsoft's income comes from businesses. They already use a subscription service called Software Assurance. That's the income they will need to replace.
