Does anyone know why Calendar hasn't been upgraded to the new Metro/Modern UI yet? We have Outlook, People, Calendar, and SkyDrive as our options to select from the drop-down list in the top left hand corner in Outlook.com yet Calendar is the only one that hasn't been updated yet. It's driving me crazy to as I like to have fluidity throughout the services I use.

Sorry if this isn't the right place to put this. I don't know where this post is supposed to go.

Ther is a Modern UI Calendar App right in the Start screen

He's referring to the online Windows Live / Microsoft services. As to why - well the updates for each section has been rolling out in phases, so we'll see it in the next few weeks hopefully.

(As an aside if you try to register for a Microsoft account via account.microsoft.com, so get taken all the way back to the MSN account / .NET passport sign up page)

The answer I was looking for is that they're rolling it out soon. I know about the app, I use the app but I don't want to have to use the browser for all their services and switch to the app when I need that one service. Can't wait for everything to be updated and rolled out. I love this new UI, so much cleaner. It does lack a little bit of the features but we'll hopefully get them back in the near future.

Sorry to bump an old post, but I came across this while trying to search for this same answer. Windows 8 is out, WP8 is somewhat out, everything else appears to be "metro", yet out of the three Windows Live accounts between my wife and I, not one has that UI in the calendar yet. Did I miss something somewhere?

Yea the calendar still strikes me as odd, yet I did notice that they updated devices.live.com to a metro look... devices.live.com (not device.live.com, two different things) is used as a major part of Windows Live Sync.

Yeah it seems like everything but the calendar has been updated.

      No. Windows 8 had little to no spywhare, is actually faster than 7 but it has the dreaded start screen, nothing that you could not fix with start8. Windows ME crashed often, but was shotlived and replaced by XP, which is a much better windows in itself.

      Windows 8 was uninspiring but it was fine / worked. It was just overshadowed by how great Windows 7 was. Windows ME seem to be just unstable for most people - I was using Windows 2000, which was far superior. The two best versions are Windows 7 and 2000

      I don't think ME was that bad. The stability issues were mostly caused by drivers. This was when the switch from vxd to wdm was happening. The other complaint was not being able to shut down into DOS anymore which was silly with XP right around the corner.

      As much as I hated Windows 8, although I never used it personally on any of my own machines, I think Windows Me was hands down the worst OS from MS. I have Windows 11 on 2 unsupported machines and haven't had any issues and I actually kind of like it. Still hate how slow Windows updates are though.

      Why do you think they whol industry would be done? Agree a lot has shifted around the launch with devs moving their dates to avoid the timeframe around the launch. But if this fails, it'll be talked about, analysed, Rockstar will likely be ridiculed but people will move on. Others devs might be more cautious about these large games but I don't think one game will change the entire industry
