Microsoft can't - and won't - release something like Thred. They may (and I'm punting on 'the ever-so-slightest of chances') acquire Thred to eliminate them as a competitor - or for any other number of strategic business reasons - but they wouldn't release a product like it. Firstly, they just can't. Microsoft is a power player at the highest level, in direct competition (for ad, storage, software and 'eyeball' revenue) with Google, Facebook, Twitter etc. Why would they release a 'convenient aggregator' to promote the offerings of their competition? And especially when that would also affect their own product lines? It just doesn't make any sense.a premium business productivity platform used by organisations all over the world. What will that do, do you think? Will it increase or decrease "Ever since we got Microsoft Thred integrated into 365, our dev team's use of ALT+TAB has dropped dramatically! By nearly 98%! It's now so easy! Everything's right there in front of you! We are seriously considering removing those two keys from our keyboards, because.. well.. they just aren't being used anymore!"

I broke my bid to stay off the tins (for a month) and have been very vocal on THD tonight. I'll spare you all from more waffle. Suffice to say that the term 'Microsoft Partner',as often quoted by THD in their releases, is a stretch rivalled only by the spin on their 'Facebook' cheerleader. https://dev.office.com/officestore/docs/submit-to-the-office-store
