Why is MS forcing people from Paid outlook to the Free "New Outlook" program

[Sprall]

What am I missing here. I can see that MS is deprecating mail and replacing with a program Called "New Outlook". So "New Outlook" will be MS free mail program going forward. However both Windows Mail and Paid Outlook Versions have a radio button that says "Try New Outlook". Is MS really pushing people away from their paid outlook app to the free one, or are there 2 different "New Outlooks" and if they are what will clients paying for outlook get for a discount now that they are no longer using the paid app?

Can't 'Like' this post, but I'm wondering this exact same thing...Any answers to this that you care to share Microsoft?

I'm going to agree with my dude Sprall here. Well let me tell ya somethin', brother! When it comes to this whole switcheroo with Microsoft and their Outlook programs, it's got me scratchin' my head too, dude! I mean, why in the world would they be pushin' folks away from the paid version over to the free "New Outlook" program? It's like tryin' to understand why someone would step into the ring with the Hulkster himself, brother! And what's the deal with havin' two "New Outlooks"? Are they playin' mind games with us or somethin', jack?

I gotta admit, I'm just as confused as you are, Mean Gene. So, what's the scoop, Microsoft? Are we to continue to take our vitamins and say our prayers until you make sense? These 24" pythons on me will cause Hulkamania to run wild on O365.
