Why move forward when it\u2019s more fun to go backward? Microsoft seems to be looking to the past with the latest Outlook update. There will be new additions to the ribbons, which are on the main menu. You\u2019ll be able to switch between classic and simplified views, the former presenting the retro appearance for emails<\/strong>. We\u2019re not sure if it will also make changes to meetings and the calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Microsoft 365 Roadmap<\/a> received a new entry that has to do with this update. While not much information is available at this point, it\u2019s clear we should see it sometime in September 2022. It\u2019s not a massive change<\/strong>, but it will let you switch to the old view in Outlook, giving you that sense of nostalgia. It\u2019s uncertain what prompted this update; perhaps the tech giant is missing the good old days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s strange to be going backward<\/strong> when Microsoft should be working on changes that take us forward. I get the same feeling when developers and publishers put so much energy into rehashing old games. They could be spending all that time making a new phenomenal title, instead. Imagine I went back and republished my novels with the initial grammar mistakes I made with my first books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite my opinion on this matter, there are some people that like to go down memory lane<\/strong>. Perhaps you miss your Pentium 5 with Windows NT. Remember the ribbons that Microsoft Word and Excel had back then? I\u2019m wondering if we should expect similar updates for these programs. Or perhaps I\u2019ve missed them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In any event, I\u2019m more excited about Outlook receiving a To-Do list<\/a> in the email section. I receive so many emails per day, it will help me be more productive with how I organize the content and plan my day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
