Microsoft Stops Development Of Outlook Express
Jman314 writes "According to a ZDNet story, Microsoft will cease development of their Outlook Express email client. "The technology doesn't go away, but no new work is being done. It is consumer email in an early iteration, and our investment in the consumer space is now focused around Hotmail and MSN. That's where we're putting the emphasis in terms of new investment and new development work." says Dan Leach, lead product manager for Microsoft's information worker product management group. Microsoft's alternatives include, not surprisingly, the full version of Outlook."
Yep, kinda just slop it on in globs.
Stopping myself...Abort (core dumped)
Evolution sucks Outlook's balls. I say that because I have yet to see a completely functional evolution install. Either I can't send email, can't check email, crash sending/checking email, crash opening the calendar, crash closing the calendar...or just plain crash upon startup. The possibilities are endless!
Oh, and please choke on a bucket of dicks if your solution contains any of the following: change distro/fix gtk/recompile kernel/fresh install/compile from source/update.
Mix the failings of Usenet with the shortcomings of the World Wide Web and the result is slashdot.
Why not start your own business, then? Americans are always boring the rest of the world with their land-of-opportunity crapola.
Face it, the USA is Victorian Britain 2.0.
That was classic intercourse!
