Note that the new Outlook app is cloud-based, not local.

Seems like most everything MS is becoming cloud-based. They were constantly trying to get me to login to my Windows 10 PC with a cloud-based account. Nope, not happening. Then there's Microsoft 365, where the Office products now reside.

If push comes to shove, and Microsoft discontinues locally installed programming like Office 2019, 2021, 2022, etc, then I'm ok cuz I use Thunderbird as my prior email client. I also got Libreoffice (just in case) so I'm good.

It's a good time to migrate to Linux these days.

Cloud based crappola is so, like Google/YouTube, they own your data.

As to apps, yee Gawds, use LibreOffice. It runs on every OSystem and is compatible with most everything else. Oh, and it is free.

F!@#$% M$.

“Seems like most everything MS is becoming cloud-based.”

Yeah it is a generally trend that has been going on for years and is not limited to MS.

Your Windows 10 PC will no longer be supported after next October.

My main work comp is unable to be upgraded to W11. I will have to replace it before then.
