Microsoft Teams must become more ecological
I'm a web developer and I work at Argolight ( http://argolight.com ). We use Teams and we like it. But we are an environmentally conscious company and for us Teams is not ecological because all of our files are saved in a cloud (sharepoint) and we don't want that, especially because we do not need to keep the history on some of our channel in Teams. (We like to use gifs or pictures to joke in our fun channel 😉 - No need to save that) I would like to propose a big feature for Teams : the possiblity to create "ephemeral channels", it will be very cool if theses channels run an auto clean to delete files (a real deletion, not in trash) with a life expectancy that we could define somewhere. We think that a daily/weekly/monthly cron should be less power hungry that data storage ! Please consider this. It's important to be conscious that all data center contributes to destroy our planet.
New Window feature : safe BOYD for desktop dividing windows OS in environments
Hi, I was thinking we are more and more pushing BOYD at office, but bring your own computer brings a lot of troubles to IT because it is not easy to secure. What if in the next windows version we could have spaces, completely separated running seemlessly on the same computer. We could have one space for our personnal usage with our own softwares, games, browser, vpn if any, and so on with complete freedom, and on the other a professional space with total control from the company on software and security settings. If done well, like containers the OS could share resources without duplicating all the hardware usage. Would required some work on drivers to allow to divide memory space or a storage drive into different spaces to have different security applied for example. That would help a lot reducing the number of computers people own, companies could propose to provide a computer or money to support employee own equipment, and no longer requiring multiple computers. For consultants working for clients could also avoid providing a computer for each client they work on, could all be just more professional spaces of the same computer. Of course you cannot start 10 spaces at the same time on a small laptop, but usually you would have maybe 2 at the same time, max 3 and not one running a game... What do you think ?
