    @davepl1968 They had one job: iterate on XP. And they failed. Now we all live with a broken Electron @Outlook app that is 10x slower than the first Outlook Express release.

    This has not only pathetic UI but you also cannot simply get excel tables edited, format texts and highlight the word. Additionally, it's way too slow. If you guys were not ready, what was the urgency to discontinue the classic outlook?? @BillGates @satyanadella @Outlook

    @CA75253969 @InnerPhoenix420 @Outlook Even uninstalling it completely using Revo uninstaller. And this problem is happening with all browsers, not just Firefox. Microsoft is shitting the bed in general. They started letting AI do their coding and already windows 11 are turning into a disaster because of this.
