You would be surprised to know how many times Microsoft have done similar things.

I once found three Microsoft apps on Appstore that had the same features and everything but with a little different ui design.

I think it was the Bing app, Microsoft Start and Copilot.

At one point (maybe still?) Microsoft had at least 3 business chat/calling apps that were supported simultaneously.

Lync, Skype for Business, and Teams. And that doesn’t include the non business focused alternatives such as Skype and MSN (although I’m not sure if MSN overlapped with the rest of them).

> Is Microsoft canibalising Microsoft ?

that is a very microsoft thing to do
