WhatsApp is the worst app on your Windows 11 PC right now, eating 1.2GB of RAM doing nothing

WhatsApp for Windows is a slow, RAM-hungry web wrapper. With Microsoft committed to WinUI, there's no excuse not to build a native app.

Microsoft's new Outlook takes 10 seconds to do what Outlook Classic does instantly on Windows

New Outlook takes 10 seconds to show an email after clicking a Windows 11 notification. Outlook Classic does it instantly. Here's why.

Even though it is a web wrapper, I have found that running it directly as a PWA is quicker. It seems that Microsoft managed to add some extra friction.

Microsoft still can't make Windows 11's New Outlook work offline because it refuses to go native

After all these years of trying to kill Outlook Classic, Microsoft is still struggling to make the new Outlook work properly work.

Windows 11’s “new” Outlook is a hot mess, and nobody likes it, including many people who work at Microsoft. After all these years of trying to kill Outlook Classic, Microsoft is still struggling to make the new Outlook work properly without an internet connection. A new update promises better offline support, but it’s far from perfect.

As you may be aware, the new Outlook for Windows 11 is a web app that loads Outlook.com in a WebView2 container, which is basically the same as opening Outlook in an Edge tab.

Can we go back to the 1990's when apps were actually native dear Lord. I'm sure Outlook '97 worked beautifully offline.
