>Many a frustrated user has sworn they'll launch Microsoft Outlook into space, but NASA has actually done it – on a journey around the Moon, where it's now causing problems for astronauts. The astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft currently circling the Earth are taking care of a bunch of housekeepign tasks, including getting their devices working. Judging by some space-to-ground communications with controllers at Houston, it isn't going well.

I fully expect to see the operating system lockup at any moment.

Those idiots left the modern Outlook GUI on that requires an internet connection. I'm sure of it. The actual Classic Outlook Classic, where the GUI hasn't changed in 20 years, would just work.

It's a registry entry. That's how easy it is to get back.

Bigger question. WHAT THE FUCK is Windows or Outlook doing on a fucking spaceship in the first place?

That street shitter POS is not even good enough to run a fast food shop.

Its sold. Get to the betting markets. a BSOD might be a "kills a bunch of Americans in space" error this time around.

Do you know WHY it's like that? "New" Outlook is literally just a headless instance Edge running 365 OWA. It's a fucking web browser. That's why it can't access your network drives, that's why there's no extensions, that's why it needs to be online and treats every link as HTTPs. Because there's perilously few actual SOFTWARE developers at Microsoft anymore. It's all barely trained dime a dozen (and likely pajeet) "webdevs" who couldn't code their way out of a hello world tutorial.

I'm fairly certain Teams is the same way and the Office apps already are or will be made to be so as well.

Yes. It's a web wrapper but they aren't calling it a web wrapper. I was asked to fix someone's Outlook and I told them they are using New Outlook and there's nothing I can do to fix it. It was a Marketing VP. He was flabbergasted. He asked why I can't fix it and I explained because New Outlook doesn't run on his $4000 MacBook Pro. I've been pushing people off of New Outlook as much as I can.

Of course, one day M$ will flip the switch and force it on everybody.

They've randomly been flipping that switch for people. Not even entire orgs, just random users will lose the ability to use old Outlook. It's bullshit. New Outlook for Mac is the fucking worst too. It's so buggy and you can't find any info about it because it's all referencing old Outlook. They literally just added local archive importation into it. A feature you'd think it would have shipped with just added a out 2 months ago.

I could go on, but I'll stop there. Fuck Microsoft.
