A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I wish they called it "Outlook Express", like the old free one. This is confusing.

They want to get rid of regular "Outlook", but "Outlook (new)" is missing a LOT of features. It's essentially just a webview that loads the web version, so it doesn't have features like native add-ins and PST files and likely never will. It doesn't look like any other Windows apps either. A good web interface, but a pretty bad app. Why even make it an app at that point? Just tell people to access the site.
