    I don’t get why people still use Microsoft services. How many data privacy scandals do we need, so they understand? Or do they still not care?

        In taking about personal email. I also use outlook at work because I’m forced to, but I would never let these bastards touch my private Mails.

      Because my line of work means I working corporations, and they ALWAYS run everything on the big names, Microsoft and Oracle.

      At home, I have choice. At work, I must swallow.

          If you’re working with clients that requires you to have security certifications it can be a real pain in the ass to certify your setup for everything vs just using the 365 stack.

            True. Hate it when people want the cert instead of actual security. But I know how the world ticks. Corporate usually doesn’t give you a choice.

        And at work I don’t really care. It’s not my data they are “looking” at. It’s my employers.

        I guess they won’t lose any corporate customers over this. The pure shit that it outlooks hasn’t scared anyone away yet.

        I tried to delete ~7k emails today. I had to kill the process since it stopped responding. Wtf?

        Yeah but at least Google offers a good search engine while sniffing all your data. Microsoft products are usually hot garbage, sniff your data and then loose it. Also what is the Amazon index?

      I have a government job (shocking to me still) and everything is on Exchange and 365. I don’t know why, other than “nobody ever got fired for recommending IBM.”
