This is applications, so it is not because I've nuked state in a browser.
It is applications for services for which I am paying money.
Stuff like this makes me lean more and more towards regulation and open standards and progressive taxation funded internet and maybe for open source development too.
I had already shifted to cross-platform applications which made the switch easier.

Microsoft never had a stable data format for email which was another reason to get fed up with Microsoft not to mention their import-export filters have always been one sided.
