I'm quite aware that I can get rhetoric from Binging it, too. Just like I can get extensive documentations of "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq, the imminent destruction of the Earth at the hands of Planet Nubiru, and the "war on Christmas" from FOX "News."
Seriously, you aren't hooked up right. I have no idea what that even says, but if it makes sense to you I think that's great.

It works great as a web service. I use it that way, even on my Windows 8 machines.
but your entire point has been about how open EAS is, how it's available on all devices. Now you're saying that I should be using the browser because Microsoft doesn't support their own EAS with their own webmail service with their own email app on a competing desktop OS. You are full of it.

They're providing the Outlook.com UI to everyone, across browsers -- unlike, say, your friends at Google.
I don't know what Google has to do with the fact that not even Microsoft supports their own EAS for their own webmail service in their own email app. You've been all about EAS and how evil Google is for dropping it, now you're doing an about face and saying that the browser is where it's at. Microsoft doesn't fully support EAS either.

Or the time that predatory music monopolist Apple issued multiple updates to iTunes designed to "make the Palm Pre integration break" -- something that Microsoft would never do (but that I'm sure you supported).
I had a Palm Pre at the time. I don't care what you're sure of, that has nothing to do with this topic.
But Microsoft DID do something similar, only worse. Did you hear about what they did to their Plays for Sure partners? These weren't companies that were trying to ride Microsoft's coat tails, those companies were "partners". Until Plays for Sure got in the way of the Zune.
So, instead of chopping off one disinterested company like Apple did to Palm, Microsoft chopped 6 or 8 companies that invested time and money into a Microsoft DRM scheme at the knees to clear the MP3 player deck for the ill-fated Zune. Seems pretty predatory to me.

You've got to get over your irrational hatred of Microsoft.......
I'd like to tell you that I read all of your ramblings here, but I didn't. If I had "irrational hatred" for Microsoft, I wouldn't own a Windows Phone right this very second.
The rest of that stuff? Whatever.
