No one is paying for it. It's a free app.

This isn't Outlook from the paid Office suit. This is the shitty free "Mail" app that has been renamed to also be called Outlook because Microsoft sucks at naming things.

You pay for Windows.

Outlook itself is aka Hotmail, Windows Live Mail, MSN mail, and so on and so forth.

No that's still not the Outlook this is talking about.

They use the name Outlook for THREE things now....

Outlook - the application from the Office suit

Outlook - the email service

Outlook - the shitty free email client
