were they infomercial-style commercials of people trying to load modern websites in ie 6 and being incredibly frustrated when the page didn't render properly (fade to b&w horrified face on non-threatening minority computer user)

in outlook for mac lols i installed the latest version, it walks you through the process to activate it with your office 365 account but doesnt actually add the account to outlook - literally the first run wizard is only to activate it and set it as the default mail reader. once you've done that and stared at a completely empty screen for a bit you then have to go into the preferences and add the account, which looks exactly like it did in outlook 2011 and still pops up a warning that the autodiscover is being redirected.

oh and its been 4 years since outlook 2011 and shared calendars all display in the same colour, you cant view the global address list (only search it), or edit distribution group members.

what a clown show.

can you even use outlook for mac without office 365?

i still have a school account that uses outlook.com so it works with some office 365 poo poo but not others (like word, excel, etc)

there is absolutely no way i am paying a sub for office though

if you are using legacy windows apps on a touchscreen device you are a fool child who doesn't know how to do their job in a non-retard manner

i.e., a middle manager or c-level exec. they'll love the idea of using their lovely enterprise software on a tablet, and the company selling the enterprise software will gladly sell them on ~windows tablet supoort~ since the porting effort is trivial if your disgusting decades-old mess of software functions at least a little bit on windows 8

i didnt have this issue when i selected "work account" or whatever on the installer

i showed it to a friend who set it up with his "microsoft account" and promptly ran into the same issue


im glad we finally have an outlook on mac that syncs i guess???
