This new application that will replace Mail must be one of the most ridiculous and non-sensible decisions this company has ever made. In my opinion, Windows is the most versatile and user-friendly operating system in the world, and billions of people use it because it can connect with whatever other applications or devices the user uses. Most of the world uses Gmail. That is a FACT, and it will not change just because the company is forcing a switch of the mail application to Outlook. Microsoft is essentially sticking up a middle digit to millions of people just because they do not use Outlook. Do not discontinue the Mail app or force people to change mail providers. That is not a smart move. The user interface of this new application is complicated to use and will make people furious. I have been using this new Outlook application for five days, and all I have received is a mind-boggling headache. Besides the bewildering UI that looks like it came out of Windows 97,’ it also lacks the necessary functions that an everyday user needs. This is a massive pain for people who use email regularly, whether students, professionals, or anyone working an office job. No one asked for this switch, so why are you doing it? From what I have read online and experienced, everyone around me and the online community has concluded that this new application is terrible. I, like many other Microsoft operating system users, own an iPhone. This application switch is another reason for switching to a Macbook.
