Current-era Microsoft continuing to push the boundaries of consent.

Microsoft Edge is a good browser but for some reason Microsoft keeps trying to shove it down everyone’s throat and make it more difficult to use rivals like Chrome or Firefox. Microsoft has now started notifying IT admins that it will force Outlook and Teams to ignore the default web browser on Windows and open links in Microsoft Edge instead.

      There is no free outlook. Windows mail replaced outlook express decades ago, and outlook.com is Hotmail not outlook.

        Oh, you should know. Windows 11’s newest version lets you just have Outlook for free. You can just click a button and have the “new Outlook for Windows.”

          I didn’t know, thats terrifying. We don’t allow Win11 in our company. Only Win10. Everyone is on paid outlook connected to our orgs cloud exchange. Unfortunately we will never stop supporting MS. Lucky I don’t have to deal with that stuff anymore as dev ops.

          it looks like an outlook skin for mail. It is not proper outlook, and I could ne er see them giving it away since it costs users like $100 a year.
