Linode's chief attraction to Akamai wasn't primarily its technologies or existing infrastructure, things that Akamai could do for itself out of parts it already has at home. It's a highly competent, highly trusted deliverer of high-availability network services to rich companies, and it has the sales and support network to match. With last week's Linode acquisition, Akamai has a little problem adding hosting, storage, and developer-friendly cloud services to its portfolio as a supermarket does adding own-brand cornflakes to its shelves.Īkamai is no supermarket. The company is intrinsically multi-platform. The stuff Akamai sells is designed to bolt onto AWS, GCP, Azure, you name it, and do the delivery to the world. It doesn't care who's hosting its fleet of enterprise clients. It has always just sold cloud infrastructure services to customers it knows shop elsewhere. Each of these cloud infrastructure options – AWS, GCP and Azure – are big, centralised components of bigger organisations with other things on their minds, and a deep aversion to sharing customers.Īkamai has the edge here. Google and Microsoft can, but then you're stuck with Google and Microsoft. Opinion The one thing AWS can't offer is not being AWS. Custom add-ins, VBA projects, ancient APIs that remain for legacy reasons, all mean this will be a tricky application to replace.
Microsoft outlook for mac search not working windows#
What if Microsoft replaces the Windows version with a similarly rebuilt product? Perhaps it will but the difficulty is that Outlook is baked into the Windows ecosystem and forms part of workflows, some automated with COM technology, that will break if Microsoft replaces it. Lastly, the problem of Outlook on Windows being different from Outlook on Mac will get worse. Teams integration will also be strong and Microsoft has demonstrated features like converting an event to a Teams meeting, handy in times of lockdown.
Second, Outlook Mac will be focused on cloud, especially Office 365, though it also already has good support for Google mail. This is not a high bar: Outlook on Windows is a mess from a user interface perspective, and has dialogues buried within that have not changed for decades. First, it will be the best Outlook yet, perhaps on any platform, in terms of appearance and design. Microsoft has not specified a release date for the new Outlook Mac but a few things are clear. The current preview is not fully usable, but fortunately switching back is quick The problem of Outlook on Windows being different from Outlook on Mac will get worse
