    Outlook classic loads instantly? No that’s a lie. It’s never loaded instantly.

    Modern Outlook isn’t great but it’s a leap forward. It’s also browser based, which is good for alternative OS folks.

      If only we had the technology that would allow us to compile software into an intermediate language and provide a runtime for a multitude of operating systems, instead of running everything in a fucking browser. That would be so cool, that way a text editor would not need 2 Gigs of RAM. And maybe outlook would not take ages to load

      We could name the technology .net or something. Or maybe name it after a coffee bean.
