Ads disguised as emails in your inbox. Microsoft will not rest until
Windows resembles Times Square. What a trash fire of an operating

The migration from the classic Mail and Calendar app to the new Outlook app[1]
is in full swing already. Microsoft announced the deprecation of the classic apps[2] in favor of a new Outlook app in June 2023. It introduced the new Outlook app to Insider builds a month later and announced that it would enforce the migration in early 2024.
Not all users are migrated at this point. Those who have been migrated already
or installed the Outlook app directly, may notice several differences between the new Outlook app and the classic Mail app.

Doesn't mail already have ads? Sure, some might go to spam but still..
quite a bit already.

Much like Usenet. But if a news server started inserting ads in
with the posts read by its users via NNTP, I'm sure those users
would disappear _very_ quickly to alternative servers.
