That's not quite true. Microsoft had a Hotmail plugin in Outlook Express that was "beta" for at least 5 years. Microsoft simply used the term as an excuse to avoid supporting a product that people don't pay for. Sounds pretty similar to me.
- Ennis 17y agoFrom what I've seen on the inside of the company I would disagree. It's more likely that feature was so low priority that it never made the bar to be looked at seriously. I'm not bad mouthing the company. On the contrary they have some of the best minds in the world there. It's just the way company culture is at Microsoft. Much more than code goes into making their software which to say the least complicates things. I can elaborate but I guess I'll leave it at that.
