[@christopherdavis9137]

Thanks for the video. Wow these are annoying things you brought up. I am not hopeful 😢

[@MeeTime]

😬

[@dudel74]

Had lots of issues with new teams.

[@MeeTime]

Oh no, what sorts of issues have you had?

[@erikolsen6790]

In the new Planner in MS Team, I am not able to move a task from an Outlook/To-Do list to a Planner plan, which is really annoying and prevents a good and solid GTD system.

[@SteezyG]

Whats GTD? I assume youre not talking about the trim level of a Volkswagen Golf 😂

[@MeeTime]

Yeah, that is a pain. They are really not integrated, just show up in a similar(ish) view

[@MeeTime]

😆 Not a Golf trim - a method of managing tasks made popular from the book, Getting Things Done by David Allen 👍

[@SteezyG]

@@MeeTime thanks!

[@MeeTime]

@@SteezyG No worries, Steezy 👍

[@innermotion7]

Still no retention and restore, lots of odd choices that you have outlined. We have had peoples To do Lists with 100s of tasks blown away during update as well.

[@MeeTime]

Wow 😯 Losing data sucks - when it is tasks, even more so

[@tomrberg]

The "problem" is that you are approaching this from a user centric view. 😂 A lot of Microsoft products feels like they were either created by AI or technology people who don't need to actually use the products for the stated purpose. I can technically understand why all the annoyances happen from a technology stack perspective, but end users don't care about/for that and it doesn't make sense in any persons workflow. The product feels like it grows out of how the technology works/was originally created (like the notifications) and also stuck between Microsoft product groups (like the M365 Group vs Teams debacle). When you have been with Microsoft for a long while you understand _why_ things are the way they are even though it makes no sense when you step back and you'd think they could work around those limitations and not let themselves be limited by them...

[@MeeTime]

I definitely get the feeling they are created by people who don't use them. Also, I always think they deliberately leave features out to not get in trouble with the competition authorities, but maybe that is too much credit?
