Also, no idea why rebuilding outlook in what can be argued is an inferior technology for a desktop app could be considered a good idea. I can imagine some advantages in consolidating the web and Windows code base, but I'd say that's already a fluke - web and desktop apps are not the same nor I expect them to ever be (and should they?? Look at your phone and ask yourself if you'd prefer all your apps ported to the browser).

New Outlook lacks many, many features it predecessor has, like hot keys and viewing options. It doesn't support multiple languages, a must for someone who isn't American but works in a global company. And yet they push it as if it was an improvement.

Whoever made the decisions on this should rethink their career.
