    IT guy here, I can sort of accept Windows 11 from a user’s perspective, but the new Outlook is absolutely unforgivable.

    It is a peice of utter garbage and will break so many workflows that I am scared for the future.

    Microsoft built their dominance on Office, not Windows, specifically, Excel and Outlook.

    Sadly almost every company runs Exchange and there is a lot of companies that either already run 365 or are migrating to it.

      Likewise, in 1995 M$ made WinRAR. it took the place of a much better product that was PKZip which existed since 1989. Since then I always see crooked things in each of their products and predatory commercial moves.

          from your link : “WinRAR is a Windows-only program.”
          … you are right that it was created by someone else in an independent company but then distributed by M$ … the important part for me is that it came after PKZip and took its place, and is worse.
