Anyone else hate the New Desktop Outlook?.
I do not want to use the online version of Outlook that is being pushed on me. It's glitchy, while the old version is excellent. Just because someone needs a job does not mean they should create a "new" product that is nowhere near as good as the original. It's crucial to learn how to code effectively before attempting to "fix" a product that is already a fantastic work tool.
In my opinion, I really dislike the new desktop version. The old product was much better. I want to emphasize that I do not want to use the new Desktop Outlook, and I would appreciate it if I were not continually asked to use it. I tried it last year, and it was awful.
While I don't hate it, its user interface is excellent. However, it's extremely slow—even on high-performance PCs—and plagued by numerous bugs. It almost feels as if we, including corporate users, are being treated as beta testers, which is rather disappointing.
GianniTic...it will get better for sure. In many ways, it is still way behind the Classic Outlook though with functionality and the ability to customise views etc. And sadly, that's probably not going to change unfortunately. There are some useful new features being added too of course. BUT, I'm totally with you, the way this product was released was awful! Let's hope they never try to pull that stunt again!
Microsoft has no idea of what product onboarding and product adoption mean....
