PasqualeTedescoIMS - I would agree with that IF, the NEW version had every essential basic functionality/feature that the current version is.  But that is the problem, is we don't have all the functionality in current Teams working in the Cloud PC versions of classic Teams as well as NEW Teams.  And, Cloud PC's aren't even able to install and use the new Teams.   Plus, Avatars are GA, and in classic Teams, so why is that functionality no available in New Teams?  Doesn't make sense when 'Preview' versions don't have these new features like Avatars built-in already.   I don't have time to have myself or my employees even be inconvenienced by lack of stability and usability in New Teams when its so far from Prod ready.   

 

And, they just alerted this week that the NEW Teams is going to be the installed with Enterprise Apps installations starting in September, unless Admins exclude it.   That's 1-2 months away, but I feel that's a tight timeline based on where New Teams sits currently.
