My favourite part is how switching between e.g. Programmer and Scientific modes never preserves the value currently in the field. It even clears the memory.

Yeah, and it's always been terrible, but they clearly rewrote the application for Windows 10 but didn't take the golden opportunity to fix it.

i imagine a large part of why they're getting rid of skype is that it is a complete security disaster and fixing it is basically impossible

If Teams doesn't completely​ replace Skype for Business within two years I'll be- well I won't be shocked at all. But it will be a whole new way for Microsoft to screw up. Come up with a better product, but still stick to your old awful one.

carry on then
