Re: Top Feedback Summary for September 23
I seriously hope that Microsoft considers supporting the FreeBSD community. Porting the Linux version over to a working application on FreeBSD is usually quite simple. As a FreeBSD user, I would be happy to assist the Microsoft team in BETA testing their product or in any other way possible. Thanks! -- Gerard11KViews1like0CommentsRe: MS Teams with FreeBSD
CamStuart Nikitha-MSFT I sincerely appreciate your help on this matter. However, I feel that the best solution would be for Microsoft to realize that there is a market for their 'Teams' platform on systems other than Windows & Linux. Many Linux programs work out of the box on FreeBSD. Others take a little massaging to get to work properly. There is absolutely no reason that Microsoft with its vast resources could not easily create a fully operational version of Teams for the FreeBSD operating system. If they were to combine this with making a version of their Edge browser that was fully operational on a FreeBSD system, it would be a win-win for everyone.19KViews2likes0CommentsRe: MS Teams with FreeBSD
Thanks. This is certainly something that Microsoft should look into. There are only a few differences between Linux and FreeBSD. Many developers prefer FreeBSD because it is much more versatile. In fact, Wietse Venema, the author of "Postfix", the most widely used MTA today, uses FreeBSD as his primary development OS. I really do hope that Microsoft includes the FreeBSD operating system into your mix when creating applications for other operating systems.20KViews3likes0CommentsMS Teams with FreeBSD
According to this URL: https://itsfoss.com/microsoft-teams-linux/, Microsoft provides .DEB installer files for Debian and Ubuntu based distributions and .RPM for Red Hat and Fedora based distributions for MS Teams. I would like to know if there are any plans to also include the FreeBSD operation system into this mix? I believe it would be a worthwhile venture. Since MS is already supporting some *nix systems, including FreeBSD should not prove a major problem. I would be happy to do some beta testing if required. Thanks!21KViews14likes10CommentsRe: Make Adobe the default program to open PDF
HotCakeX Okay, I did make that change, and it is working as you stated. However, it is not exactly what I wanted. I would have preferred that Edge give me the option to actually open the file with Adobe, rather than having to go through the rather laborious task of saving it and then opening it in my preferred PDF application. Firefox gives me this option. I think that MS should investigate that option also. It would certainly make my life easier. Thank you.2.3KViews0likes3CommentsMake Adobe the default program to open PDF
While I have Adobe set as the default application to open PDF files in Win 10, when I click on a PDF file or link from within MS Edge - Version 78.0.268.3 (Official build) dev (64-bit), the file is opened by Edge and not Adobe. I want to know how to change that behavior. Thanks2.5KViews0likes5Comments
