It's almost as if this bullshit project was just pork barrelling for overpriced contracts.

It seems you have problems with running your multi billion dollar rocket. Would you like me to help you with that?

... it would be pretty ~~funny~~ magnificent if the engineers would (have to) talk them through how to deMicroSlop themselves & install foss OS & foss apps.

It is yet to be confirmed if it is Outlook specifically that is the issue or something else.

To use a workplace example one of our purchase terminals disconnected but we fixed it by unplugging and plugging back in the network cable. Making the issue Hardware instead of software

Having a hardware solution to a problem doesn't mean you had a hardware problem. You might have had a software problem that could be solved with hardware.

Basic example: I had an issue with the controls in a game, where I kept accidentally pressing the Windows key which swapped me to a different view. I'd say having the OS swap programs is a software problem.

My solution was to remove that keycap so I'd stop pressing it. The "proper" solution was some esoteric key press combination that disabled the Windows key.
