Is there anyone that actually thinks this is a good move
No Calendar Scrolling - Screen Size issues - Shared Mailbox Issues to mention but a few of the reasons I keep having to go back to 'Classic' Outlook
Now that antitrust has blocked the 'one ring to rule them all' Teams client (for now) Outlook has a reprieve in its evenual culling (despite what its customers actually want). I've tried several times to reset my brain and give New Outlook a chance, but always run into a functionality roadblock really quickly and have to go back. Funnily enough the 'New Teams' client was actually much better than the 'Classic' one from my perspective! I know the whole one development for web and desktop idea will save MS a load of development cash, but when the functionality just isn't there, why take all your functional advantages over say gmail and unwind them into a generic web-client??
I know that MS has also traditionally 'borrowed' from Apple in the past, but the whole idea of 'we know better than you how you should work' was also a big reason why Apple is niche rather than mainstream.
With my old OSS/Linux hat on, I should be delighted but my battle-hardened 'I've enough work to be doing leaving VMware behind to be shifting off MS too' work face would much prefer that they stay the right side of 'its not worth moving off it'.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
