Outlook is garbage. Everything Microsoft does is garbage and consumer hostile, except for visual studio code. Anyone who’s used Google business apps knows this. Teams is such an unproductive joke I refuse to work for any company that uses it. It’s evidence a company is cheap and values cost cutting more than efficiency.
I had a family 365 account to backup my parent’s shit. Even though their PC’s were logged into their fucking Microsoft accounts, and backed up to OneDrive, Outlook displayed ads and couldn’t be linked to their subscription without changing their account emails. Ads were also re-inserted into their OS, even though I already ran multiple scripts to disable them all previously. Complete joke. Cancelled that shit.
except for visual studio code
But also:
- Telemetry everywhere
- Not permitted to use the official marketplace with OSS builds
- Not able to use certain extensions (like C# debugger) with OSS builds
Though I’ve been very happy about the direction .NET and C# have been going, especially the licensing.
