Thanks to Slack we now know that MS is launching a competitor.

Never mention the competition, always focus on your shit.

But yeah, we get it - first Facebook Workplace, now MS Team. Slack might get pushed into the feature/addon category faster than it can move into full product. Hard to reach the crazy valuation that way.

Yes, I found that strange. After reading the first few words ("Congratulations on today’s announcements.") my first thought was, "What announcements?" .. then after reading for 30 more seconds the second reaction was, "Slack is scared and not happy about this", which is something that wouldn't have crossed my mind had they not written this.
