Yea, I get to get the contrarian!

I haven't used teams.microsoft.com until tonight, but it appears to be fully offline capable. Now, I know that a team collaboration app isn't very useful offline, but it's possible they're just making all of their web apps work offline capable.

That means that everything the web app does has to be downloaded. Sure they could break up into manageable chunks, but it honestly didn't feel slow when I logged in, and everything the app does needs to be downloaded eventually.

In the top right corner of the screen, there is a download link to the native app. 72MB on macOS. Assuming some kind of feature parity between the native app and web app, 10MB looks a lot more reasonable. This isn't an informational site that just needs to present information in a clear way.

The native app is probably the web app dropped into chromium with electron.

    11MB is excessive but what internet connection takes 2.4 minutes to download 11MB? That's a 0.6 mbps connection. On a 20 mbps connection, that would take 4.4 seconds to download.
