I am Not a Fan of the New Outlook

Howdy ?
I have been a MS user for probably longer than most of you have been on this planet (when it was only DOS). Sometimes, I wonder if MS purposely says to its employees let's forget about all that we know and come up with something fresh. Change for the sake of change sometimes seems to be their goal. Years ago, MS had Outlook Express. It was easy enough for my mother to use. Then they thought let's get rid of that. Going from Outlook Express to full Outlook was too much for the casual user. She then had to use an ISP email client which had its own issues like losing one's emails if moving to a different ISP (Yes there were work arounds but not easy ones).

Any thoughts ?
