New version of Teams is a bit less shit

Teams got a new update and it should suck less, which going by the continual complaints I hear from the poor souls forced to use Microsoft's collaboration app, is a very low hurdle to jump. According to Microsoft it's twice as fast, uses half the memory and takes up 70% less disk space. The improvements come due to ditching Electron and using Microsoft's in house "Edge WebView2 technology" and "moved to the React JavaScript library". It also comes with Copilot, allowing stuff like summaries of long threads, meetings and action items. Microsoft's been working on this version since March, but its now available for all users on Mac & Windows.
