> 2 instances of Outlook

That's 2 too many.

They should have used the third outlook they didn't know about... Outlook, Outlook (new), and the well-hidden Outlook (classic) that actually works.

That outlook was part of the ablative outlook armor thats suppose to burn off on reentry

Do you have a source for that? I don’t see what impact consumer email software would have with the composition of the heat shield.

I believe this one would fall under "incongruity theory"

its a joke, no sources required

He's saying it's bulky junk that's best torched.

Well "Outlook (new)" finally stopped OOM-ing on my very normal-sized inbox, so I went back to using it over Outlook Classic... Can't say I notice a difference much these days.

(Not a residential inbox, the "I work in IT" sized inbox with all the email alerts about jobs failing...)

"Classic" was never very stable to begin with, and seems to be getting less stable every monthly patch cycle. Decades-old problems remain unfixed, and "new" Outlook still doesn't have all the features of the old one (or compatibility with in-house programs that use MAPI integration, or COM add-ins). "Classic" must have been such a spaghetti-fied mess that they thought they couldn't actually fix it at all and needed to replace it. But I'm not sure that's really the solution... is it ever?

for anyone else who hasn't seen it

Nadella gets the money for getting Outlook onto the ship. Having it actually work would have been a bonus, sure, but it's not the goal.

Microsoft’s annual revenue ($245Bn) is 2.5x Tesla ($95Bn), and Musk was angling for a trillion dollar compensation package.

Artemis II astronaut was piloting a spaceship not a Tesla.

Makes you think.
