    I think it’s mostly because they keep trying to push other services down your throat. For example, opening a link in Outlook opens it in Edge, even when your default browser is something else. I can’t use Edge for that link, I’m not signed into stuff there. So now, because of retarded decisions like that, Outlook actually is missing basic features that Hotmail in the 90s had.

      You know you could have just used shitty instead of using a slur, which would have the same emphasis without the baggage of the other word.

        Shitty has a different meaning. Above commenter meant to say the person making the decision was differently abled with regards to their cognitive capabilities. The other is excrement.

        The definition of “retardation” is as follows:

        1. The act or process of delaying or impeding.
        2. The condition of being delayed or impeded.
        3. The extent to which something is held back or delayed.

        Considering that the features being complained about impede the user, calling those features “retarded” is an adequate description.

        It is also in-fitting with the definition of lacking of intellectual development; as mentioned, other programs do not feature such impediments, and in the case of Office 365, may actually be a regression of features.
