Anybody else use the crap called OUTLOOK for their email?

[1 Patriot-of-many]

Yesterday I could pull a drop down bar and chose which email account I wanted to look at/use, Today the choice is gone and have to sign in and out of one to sign into the other. MS BLOWS.
Anyone else just had this issue come up? Obviously MS just changed something.

Nope. I run Linux for the OS, Firefox for the web and Thunderbird for email. Not one byte of Microsoft crap on my computer.

Which version of Outlook are you using?

Edit to add: my community college uses Outlook.com for all its student accounts. It's not too bad if you want a web-mail option, but I still prefer Gmail.

Outlook sucks! My Hotmail account was marginally slow, but Outlook is setting new slowness records for mucous-deficient snails.

A Mac is a proprietary machine running BSD Unix with a pretty GUI front end.

Want all the benefits of Unix/Linux without paying megabucks? Install Linux on your PC and say goodbye to Microsoft's bullshit.

Get Mozilla Thunderbird.

...and Mozilla Firefox for the browser side... and watch all the problems disappear.

the hardest part about buying a mac is telling your parents that you're gay.

Love it.

My Window's XP Pro and Outlook Express work just fine!

Say what you want but i have been running the same computer for the last 4 years with not a single issue. I have never ran a virus scanner on it and have never "reinstalled" like windows requires every 6 months. Same computer running day in and day out and i do not have a single bitch about it.

By the way when a new version of mac os comes out it is $25 for the full version. Unlike the latest microshit product. Whats it cost? $500?

Keep using pc and complaining.

I will stick to my gay mac.

Lemme see you install a 3ware (or other) hardware raid card running 4 drives in a raid 5 array in your mac...then we'll talk.

Can't easily help you unless we know what version of microsloth office you're running...outlook is an office applicaiton, unless you're talking about outlook express, which comes standard in winblows.

An interesting question to ponder is how did attorney Scott Charney, former chief of the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, become a Microsuck Vice President?

As part of "connect the dots" it occurs to me that one should consider this question in the context of DOJ's antitrust suit against MS and the Clinton administration Key Escrow initiative.

This same Scott Charney (speaking for MS) has proposed a requirement for a cyber certificate of health (I assume this is to be issued by the Government) in order to connect to the Internet. This position IMHO is another clue as to Charney's real role with MS.

because every normal computer owner does that...

Outlook Express has never let me down.

Ditto. Most of my mail goes through Yahoo instead. OE is mainly for family.

Yeah it's the standard one that windows XP now uses. I'm especially pissed because you can't easily switch email accounts all of a sudden and it is slow. I use Firefox browser, can't stand internet explorer. I will check out thunderbird, I assume it can be used with Hotmail/MSN email accounts?
