In my defense Blackberry was still popular when I had this thing

At least S mode is now an install option on regular SKUs, which is what it should have always been. What's the situation with private versions of the Store for things like the S version in large companies?

apparently when you're in an office 365 group and you want to look at that group's calendars in outlook, you have to go to the main "mail" part of outlook, scroll down in your list of email folders until you see the "groups" section, click on the group you'd like to see the calendars for, and then click on the Calendar button in the ribbon. i kinda thought it would populate in the calendars part of outlook, like how it creates a "Team: [manager name]" automatically when you tell active directory/exchange online that your manager is [manager name]. idk why they did that but they wrote a kb article on how to find your team's shared calendar instead of unhiding it https://support.office.com/en-us/article/schedule-a-meeting-on-a-group-calendar-in-outlook-0cf1ad68-1034-4306-b367-d75e9818376a

Windows usability cannot be increased, but it can be transferred such that Windows is easier to use for some and harder to use for others.
