I suspect Microsoft knows full well that 343 wouldn't be capable of producing a "metaverse". Activision though? With a sort of contiguous open world standardize "game engine" used by all the properties? Now we're talking real metaverse tech.

Just need to download the 90 gig client, then I'll join your Teams 2 call.

Just part of the standard OS install. Nobody notices bloat any more.

A very large amount of people notice the bloat in Teams, how it wastes your memory, cpu and your battery and how it makes your laptop fan spin.
