About a month ago I emailed the company and it did not respond. They sent me an email invitation to a webinar about Microsoft Teams. That did not go over well with me because it looked like a possible takeover by Microsoft. Are my fears substantiated? My hope is that Polycom, whatever name they use, stays independent, especiially of Microsoft. Why ruin a good thing?

Hi buddy, I guess that won't anytime soon. As microsoft is also dealing with some patent cases so won't be hard over this atleast for next few months.

Thank you. I am just noticing now this response. That's reassuring for a while. After Windows 7 support ends I am switiching to a refurbished Apple. After that I would not want Microsoft in on my telephone usage.

Poly has had a collaboration with MSFT for a long time. This isn't MSFT buying Poly. That's not to say it will never happen. But at this point Poly has solutions that work with MSFT enterprise products. I wouldn't count on on the same type of collaboration with Google as Poly would be crazy to partner with a company that fails to develop their enterprise products. Just look at gApps/gSuite... Zoho and Office365 have gone through major revisions and development over the past 10 year... gSuite is still stuck in the past :(
