And now we go back 20 years to using a unique string of 8 characters which gets tied to your email id.
Then it becomes a chore and you decide to use phone numbers instead.
Repeat.
And thats the wheel of history
The best way to use Microsoft products are in your web browser. The moment it has to run on your device as an app, its game over.
Early you learn this lesson, the easier life will be.
Microsoft's new Outlook takes more than 10 seconds to open an email via notifications, while Outlook Classic opens instantly on Windows 11!
The funniest part? If I ignore the notification, open Outlook manually, find the email myself, and click it, I can finish faster than the notification flow.
It's all because Outlook for Windows is literally Microsoft Edge running Outlook .com in a browser window.
New Outlook runs through WebView2 with around 10 separate processes: GPU process, service worker, utility processes, manager, and more. It uses roughly 490MB to 636MB RAM while idle, compared to Outlook Classic sitting around 117MB to 148MB.
CPU usage is also worse: around 4% idle on new Outlook versus under 1% on Classic in my testing.
Microsoft shut down Mail and Calendar, keeps pushing enterprises toward this web wrapper, and still wants people to believe it is the future of email on Windows.
SHAME!
. @Apple
Out of curiosity. You announced a lot of ai features at #WWDC26
Why arent there usability features in mac os like clipboard or the features we have to add thru OSS apps like dockdoor, pesto etc? Shouldnt improving QoL with mac also be your concern? @AppleSupport
@litlmissunflowr Its alright brother.

As long as you have yourself, you're not alone ;)

@Sree_Reji2129@MalayalamReview I know tat :/
Wat i was asking was, now tat didi is gone, by tat logic either they should be here already or they got sent back in hordes. If its the latter, we didnt see any such events happening in West Bengal.
@MrAhmadAwais It has misunderstood instructions few times today. I added an mcp and asked it to fetch pages but it was trying to create pages into the mcp. Another instance was when i asked it to read a doc for context but it went and exec some random commands. 4.7 is not visible in @claudeai
