>It's 2023 and someone is still writing that?

Journalism isn't the profession it once was (if it ever was) from major corporations. They're just writing information they are fed by a source and spruce it up a little for views, maybe. There's no investigation going on anymore, there's no source checking generally, at least not like there used to be. The current business model doesn't allow for that in large organizations.



It's Politico, not an IT news source. I think someone on deadline potentially confusing Microsoft's client software and it's MTA is forgivable, particularly given the ever-shifting landscape of MS' branding in this area


Honestly, that's fair. I just haven't read something like that in a major publication in a long time.


I mean sure, Outlook was only released ~26 years ago, I'm sure they'll catch up eventually.
