Very annoying. We spend months / years getting a feel for something, and get really efficient at using it the way it is, then these ridiculous, no-value changes come into effect. Microsoft DOES NOT CARE about the user experience. Their developers sit in a meeting room and make up their own reasons for changing things, but nobody is there to prioritize the voice of the user. I can imagine, "Just accept that people won't like it and change it anyway." "...because we MUST change things." That's all it is.
- I have thought since Win 8.0 days that the reason these things happen is that our companies don't allow us to enable telemetry so MS claimed no one used the star menu anymore so they canged it. They have no idea how I use my PC. I won't upgrade to Windows 11. It destroyes my productivity. I have a win 10 work LT and a Win 11 LT and on the 11 I am so much slower despite it being a faster machine.
Hoardman I agree 100%... I am using the old version of outlook just for that reason... Our IT Team feels microsoft did not do our group any justice with these changes and have not mandated any changes to the new version.
Given what I have seen thus far is that the "Change Management" required to introduce this is overwelming. Any large organization with a substantial user base is using many of the unique items in Windows based Outlook - how they expect this to be introduced without a huge loss of productivity and cost is beyond me. I have been looking at alternatives such as installing desktop Outlook and other email client options. The new Outlook is not ready for prime time and given what I have seen is years away from a development standpoint. I simply cannot understand why they would replace a robust tool with a toy.
