“please use our spyware so we can syphon more of your personal info to get more quarterly profit… We are begging you. See how many apps we have for mail?”
It’s even funnier when something like this happens to me and our IT guy goes I don’t remember installing that version…
Probably didn’t, it’s microsofts dumb roll out of their updated with functionality removed deployment
Took them almost a year to add the ability to open .eml files in the new client.
That’s because the new one is just the existing web app that loads inside an Edge instance so they were basically starting from scratch. I realized that when I discovered I couldn’t open the new version on my laptop that I had uninstalled Edge from.
Oh, and MS is killing the old version. Joy.
Outlook (new new new final)
The new all new outlook(new(yess realy new(fr)))
I cannot believe they did this shit.
Every time I look at the teams icon with the word new on it, my brain thinks that means there are messages.
We had the teams update at work, with the endless notifications to let me know that a new version was coming, would I like to update early, on the 1st the update will be forced …
And the new Teams is not simply a replacement, no. It’s called “Teams (for work or school)” or something, while the old app is “Teams classic”. Both look the same and are the same sluggish mess. So why exactly did we do all that crap?
All I know is that one of them has a /v2/ subpath on its URL, and the other has nothing.
Oh, and calls work in Firefox one the /v2/ one. That’s an important difference.
What I really don’t know is why they kept pestering me for months to make sure my browser supports the new version (where they know what my browser is, and only published enough requirements to tell IE won’t work) while they only changed stuff that makes it work better on it.
Also the “we’re setting things up for you” or whatever user-dumb-hide-details crap the Teams PWA throws on your screen while launching is just… As if there was a live team of engineers carefully configuring your current Teams instance so that it starts up right. (A bit off-topic, but current trend of software “speaking to users in patronising manner” is annoying af. Unless it’s up to or exceeding HAL-3000 level, it should be abolished.)
