Microsoft rolls out completely redesigned Calendar

Microsoft has rolled out a redesign for Outlook.com’s Calendar, bringing with it new and modified functionality in addition to the visual updates to provide an all-around new, improved experience. The feature is said to be faster than it has ever been, and is currently available to some users, with the rest getting it in the next few days as it is rolled out to users across the globe.

The redesign follows Microsoft’s so-called “content over chrome” optimization method that puts more focus on the functionality aspects of the service, with the service being touted as primarily focusing on appointments and events, the two biggest reasons one would use a calendar service. Adding, editing, and accessing information on the calendar has been expedited with the new design.

Microsoft is rolling out its Outlook.com calendar update now, and the company says it “will be available around the world this week” at http://calendar.live.com
