Office on Mac is like malware. It brings the system to a halt.

The worst part about Outlook is the broken search. In the world of infinitely smart AI, the e-mail search in Outlook is embarrassingly stupid.

It’s not just that it’s stupid. It’s broken. It can’t handle email that is on the server and not on the machine, and they’ve configured the app to store most email only on the server.

That choice is also so stupid. Why doesn't Outlook just store the text of every single email on all devices. The stupid software needs gigabytes of storage, why can't it spend a couple of megabytes on making e-mail actually work.
