It's more than one OOM, closer to two. From what I remember, MSMSGS used few dozen MB at most, since typical machines of the time had between 64 and 256MB of RAM. Meanwhile, I've seen Teams go over 4GB simply being idle, and others have reported much worse.

Teams does have quite a few extra features: multiplatform, easy meeting recording, media embedded in text chat (quite useful for my current work), shared editing of Word or Excel documents within calls, sharing of Powerpoint presentation controls within calls, per-channel wiki (a bit anemic, but it's there), pretty extensive Sharepoint integration, crazy extensibility...
The downside is of course that you pay for all of that even if you don't use it.

So like Kopete in 2005?
Can you elaborate? MSN Messenger did text chat, voice chat, video chat. I don't see what more features MS teams has that explain the order-of-magnitude increase in footprint.
