Outlook is garbage. Everything Microsoft does is garbage and consumer hostile, except for visual studio code. Anyone who’s used Google business apps knows this. Teams is such an unproductive joke I refuse to work for any company that uses it. It’s evidence a company is cheap and doesn’t know how to enable employees to do their jobs.

I had a family 365 account to backup my parent’s shit. Even though their PC’s were logged into their fucking Microsoft accounts, and backed up to OneDrive, Outlook displayed ads and couldn’t be linked to their subscription without changing their account emails. Ads were also re-inserted into their OS, even though I already ran multiple scripts to disable them all previously. Complete joke. Cancelled that shit.

except for visual studio code

But also:

Telemetry everywhere

Not permitted to use the official marketplace with OSS builds

Not able to use certain extensions (like C# debugger) with OSS builds

Though I’ve been very happy about the direction .NET and C# have been going, especially the licensing.

    What I’m saying is that Microsoft is, in fact, being hostile by limiting OSS builds such as Codium in the ways I’ve mentioned above. I guess that’s how they try to get people to keep using their proprietary build instead.

I have never experienced any of this. Sounds like a skill issue.
