- jsheard 2y agoThey'll support anything nearly forever if that's what their big support contracts want, but unfortunately their interests won't always align with yours...
- MiddleEndian 2y agoYeah of course haha just ranting
- wongarsu 2y agoFor business plans the old Outlook is still supported until "at least 2029" [1]. That's four more years to switch. And Microsoft hasn't even committed to stopping support at that date, they just don't want to promise more. I fully expect them to extend it because some large customers won't have switched. What is unusual is how pushy Microsoft is in trying to get people to switch now instead of in the last second. And of course the quick murder of the consumer email thingy [1] https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/outlook/new-outlook-for-windows-a-guide-to-product-availability/4078895 https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/outlook/new-outlook...
- MiddleEndian 2y agoI specifically mean Windows Mail and Windows Calendar, the fairly minimalist apps, rather than Outlook, which is way too exhausting to use for my personal email and calendar. Plus the Outlook app has ads.
