    It’s literally their web app put in a Chrome window.

    It’s outrageous. The Mac version of Outlook is way better, and it’s native!!

      Not the first time either. Office2004 Mac was peak the last time I remember not hating using any Office app.

      Big-time disagree. Been using Windows and Mac versions of Office for over two decades. The Windows version is far superior in pretty much every metric I can think of.

        No way. I just switched to a Mac at work And I love the lack of integration with OneDrive, 365, etc. office on Mac is better because it hasn’t been made worse yet like the windows versions.

        its clear that eventually all the office apps will be web apps in either your browser or their own individual chromium instances. At least it means Linux users will finally get Microsoft office 🙃

          I’m sure it’ll be helpful for some people who just want an os that does what they’re used to, but I’ve been using libre for like a decade for a reason

          Thanks but no thanks, I’ll stick with LibreOffice if it’s all the same to you.

      IT here: you’re all insane. Outlook is a dumpster fire, Outlook for Mac is a slightly prettier dumpster fire. The idea of locally syncing emails in 2024 is laughable, a web browser is exactly where you should view your emails.

        Oh no, fuck off with that attitude, you will take my Thunderbird out of my cold dead hands

        I absolutely hate using browsers for anything other than a quick web search

        IT here: you’re right about Outlook being junk, but I disagree with your current year argument. What’s laughable about having your emails synced locally?

          If your company doesn’t pay up or there is a failure with the processing, you would still have all your mails locally instead of your cloud provider deleting them all plus all backups.

          Clearly that would be terrible.

            Not sure whether you’re kidding, but that sounds like slacking time, so yes please, put that stuff on the cloud
