A lot of people just use the defaults (OS, Browser, Email Client, etc.)

#6They sent out a warning to every single one of their users about this. It's that big of a deal.
But unfortunately it's not as big a deal as microsoft's other fuckups.

#7The real question is: why are you using Outlook?
There isn't honestly that many email clients left. What do you suggest they use, Thunderbird,.. and what, The Bat?
Outlook comes with Windows, it works.
What in some sense has me worried is that even Microsoft doesn't really care about native applications anymore. It's rather hard to take a software company serious, when they don't even want to develop to their own native API. The whole thing is primarily a result of Outlook becoming a blood webapp.
Is there honestly any reason why they couldn't bundle the real Outlook, the one they sell to businesses?

#9Why do they get passwords by viewing your mailbox
They get the password for your mailbox, and store it on their server (instead of locally on your own computer like with a local Outlook installation).
