Microsoft is pushing me towards Linux for my next OS. I’ve yet to make the jump due to time constraints, but I use many Linux OS in my homelab. I’d lose some functionality I’m used to with Windows but at this point the minor inconvenience it’d have outweighs the issues I’m having with thier forced decisions on their consumer base.
The only way to fighting these anti consumer behavior is to vote with your feet… Microshit went from mehh to worse than google last 2 years.
Like wtf did I pay for this useless license for… jfc

Its a much better app.
That should be up to each user to decide but as always Mircrosoft knows better than you what’s best for you. This “new Outlook” is actually a web-wrapper from Outlook.com running in Edge - you will have to use Edge and you will have to be logged in to Microsoft account - this is most likely the reason why they’re doing it.
MS is doing the same to Outlook users too at some point. Its a much better app. Windows mail/calendar were an oddity. Remember outlook express?
Sometimes when I drink enough I can forget
An oddity that has been around for a while. It was a fairly simple client on Windows 10 too. We used to use it for my mum to access her Gmail as it was so simple.
Moving from a local client to a Web based client is all about moving windows and it’s software to a cloud based service. For that to work all your data needs to be remote in the cloud too. This is about what is good for Microsoft, not it’s users.
And I decided to force my laptop to migrate to PopOS and I haven’t looked back.

It is amazing that after I spend several thousand dollars on nice hardware… some creep in Redmond Satya Nadella thinks he owns it because I paid him 50 bucks for a Windows license. I thought I was buying software to use my PC, not granting him a lincese to bloat it and spy my every click. Hey creep, why is this shit pinging home every time I click something?
Why does OS start spazzing out when I block non essential pings?

For those wondering about their add-ins, Microsoft quote “To provide a more reliable and stable add-in experience, VSTO and COM add-ins aren’t supported in the new Outlook on Windows. To ensure your add-in continues to work in the new Outlook on Windows, you must migrate your VSTO or COM add-in to an Outlook web add-in.”
Looks like it might be a while until businesses move to this web based version then, as many rely on business extensions in Outlook.
As long as they don’t force M365 accounts to switch, I’m ok. I prefer the native Outlook desktop app than the PWA.

I know the web based app require login to MS, always online, etc., but the current Mail & Calendar app is really really bad.
