Simple questions and Help thread - Month of April

I feel like Microsoft is going in a VERY wrong direction with these web-based apps (e.g. new Outlook)

I personally don't know anyone who appreciates this new Outlook, let alone uses it. The old Mail and Calendar apps were great for basic use.

The same applies for video editing. With Windows Movie Maker, Windows used to have a reliable video editor for simple tasks. When this was discontinued users were left dead in the water for a while, until Windows 11's video editor came along. Pretty good stuff - but also discontinued now in favour of a web-based app (Clipchamp). It's ridiculous that you have to upload your source files which can be several GB just to edit them). I'm sticking with the Legacy Photos/Video Editor app as long as it is available.

What exactly is Microsoft trying to achieve here? Thoughts?
