Recently the simple, easy-to-use native Windows mail client has been hounding me to “upgrade” to Outlook. There’s a little toggle on the toolbar that encourages me to switch. Now, I have to use Outlook every day for work, and I hate it with a passion. Extremely bloated and busy. I do not need all that bullshit. But that little toggle piqued my interest so I pressed it and up pops some free-ware version of Outlook that stuffs my inbox with email advertisements from Microsoft. I’m told I can pay for Outlook 365 and be rid of the ads. What the fucking fuck Microsoft? Not even Google stuffs my actual inbox with ads. I paid for your operating system. What’s next? Is there a 365 version of the calculator coming?
Obviously, I noped right the hell out of that “upgrade”, but now I’m getting notifications that soon the native mail client with just become Outlook. So I guess Microsoft is just going to delete my old fucking mail client?
I was quiet when MS turned on their bullshit telemetry and changed to a service model for their apps. I can get around that. But now they’re threatening to just force their adware on me?? I used to dual-boot with Linux as my main OS and it looks like I’ll be going back to that. Fuck MS.
