  • Just to add, consumer outlook / live / hotmail also benefits from this since it is also using Exchange in backend.

    Additionally EWS is atually deprecated and planned to be closed on 2026 October for at least commercial Exchange Online (M365 / Cloud) customers (unclear from that article if free Outlook accounts also will be affected) although as with all MS announcements it will probably be prolonged. Microsoft Graph API is the new hot thing, but it seems some EWS features are not yet available in Graph API based on comments.

    Another thing that in a proper company setting that uses Exchange Online you must approve applications before they can be used to access data (Not just Exchange data, this is Entra ID formerly Azure AD feature) for both EWS (in the past it was different, but now Oauth must be used which requires approval) and Graph API so company administrator will have to approve Thunderbird which many will not allow.


  • Is reddit really considered social media now? I always have described it as the biggest forum and site aggregator on internet.

    I know at some point avatars and some crypto? BS came, but that did not change site fundamentals, reddit to me still feels like the same site I joined 10 years ago especially because I used same reddit client for majority of those 10 years. Only reason why I abandoned it is the closure of free API. That and the fact I dislike management, but if 3rd party clients would not have been nuked like that, I would have probably stayed.

    Now I am using same client I used for reddit - Sync, so from UI perspective nothing has changed.

    1. I like newest OS versions. Visually I do like it better as well. Kind of wish I could get back rectangular design though, not a fan of rounded corners, but that is very minor thing. When I say nothing much has changed, I mean the backend, backwards compatibility. Everything you know about Windows since 8.1 still applies + some additional features, improvements.
    2. Do not have ads. Maybe because I am in Europe or maybe because I have Education (Same as Pro Enterprise) license or because I am using local and not MS account.
    3. Do not care about telemetry. Have disabled most “personalization” things. I am fine with MS collecting random basic telemetry like HW inventory / SW crashes or whatever they collect.

  • I sort of want to try barebones/native experience now. Old context menu can be accessed by holding shift when needed so it does not bother me much, probably there is a simple registry fix as well if you would want to always get it by default.

    For me only main initial annoyance with W11 was no seconds for clock in taskbar, but that was added some time ago so I am fine.

    Previosly I used start replacement Classic Shell, but not anymore. Kind of realized I do search instead of clicking what I want anyways. Besides Win7 like start menu looking more pleasant for me, I do not care about it much anymore.


  • For the most part there is practically no difference between 10 and 11 minus changes in UI and higher HW requirements. If someone liked 10, do not see why 11 would be different. Same in theory could be said about 8.1 and 10. Most of the UI changes are better IMO, but there are some annoyances mainly related to taskbar.

    I believe the only thing that many could dislike and have impact on daily work, would be the new context menu. It can be swapped to old one, but as of now there is no easy setting / toggle for that.
