    Windows in a shuttle computer is the most disappointingly dumbass thing NASA has done yet. I say yet because if they’ll do something that dumb it clearly needs to have a glass ceiling.

        I guess that’s a little better, except that it’s still in there. Old NASA would have never let it on board in any capacity.

    Imagine training your entire life to become an astronaut, and then you finally get to leave earth’s orbit on a historic mission…
    But you still have to deal with Microsoft bullshit.

    One of them is Outlook from MS Office, the other is New Outlook (what used to be Outlook Express). The latter is a royal pain to fully disable, and once you’ve launched it, it takes over everything.

    So what’s happening is they’re supposed to be using MS Office Outlook, but New Outlook is in the way. Hence the “neither one works” bit. I know how to solve this, have them give me a call.

      They now call it Outlook Classic and it will disappear, only shitty New Outlook will stay. And yes, it’s a royal pain.

        I don’t understand why isn’t it talked about more that the new outlook uploads your email account login passwords to microsoft, and accesses your emails through microsoft servers. a gaping violation of privacy and security
