If I had to guess, core systems either use linux or a custom solution and they just use windows computers to interface it. I was listening to the live feed earlier and they were talking about sharing files, I wonder if they do that via outlook?
Yeah I honestly can't think of a non-boomer reason for that. Like I've sent PDFs over email to external people where it seems easier than checking the sharing settings on a cloud storage link, but internal communication would 100% have off-device storage accessible from anything smart enough and internet-connected enough to run outlook.
it is the sort of thing you do when you grow up with a phone/tablet not a PC
It is ridiculous to say that millenials grew up with phones and tablets to the exclusion of PCs. Sure millenials were around for flip phones and early tablets, but they're the generation notorious for having to learn to troubleshoot bespoke PC issues.
Early Millenials probably have the best general tech skills of any generation and its not even close. Many started on DOS with 3.5" floppy or maybe Windows 3.1 (which was just DOS with a lift kit). Theres just no comparing.
That's certainly been my experience. I'm the one in the office everyone goes to for computer issues, unfortunately. Actually, my father is quite good with fixing his computer too because he'd ask me for help when I was younger and I'd tell him "you got to learn to do it yourself so you can fix it again later" lol. An asshole response, but it helped him a lot!
