Summary
After a decade of holding its position on a PC as a pre-installed application, Microsoft has decided to retire its Mail and Calendar apps, as it seeks to shift users towards its newer, more feature-rich Outlook app.
The Google and Apple travel apps are far more popular than Microsoft’s Maps, and the app is redundant as it can be accessed via any browser.
The Movies & TV app is now obsolete following the surge in all-in-one streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon’s Prime Video.
Microsoft’s Copilot app is an unpopular addition to the Windows 11 suite of programs, as it does not offer many features, and simply redirects users to other apps.
The Microsoft News app provides no unique service as users can access the news through multiple other platforms such as Microsoft Edge and the Widgets panel.
These are all examples of bloatware which, while sometimes useful, often serve no particular use to individual users and are better eradicated to free up storage space.
