Reversion Codename Lisa[edit]

I'm not sure why this was reverted, it has nothing to do with Outlook on the web. Besides the fact that Outlook.com is not renamed to Outlook on the web, but that Outlook on the web came to Outlook.com WikIan -(talk) 22:20, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Metro is no longer used[edit]

The article should be edited to reflect that Microsoft's UI is no longer called Metro. It was changed in 2012 because of trademark infringement to Metro AG

Instead it is called "Modern Design" or more simply "Modern" https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/stories/design/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.212.199.34 (talk) 18:19, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Should the name be changed?[edit]

It seems Outlook is the name used by Microsoft and not Outlook.com. It is further confusing that we have Microsoft Outlook (the software client part of 365/Office) and Outlook on the web which I have just put a move request on (see Talk:Outlook on the web).

Maybe this article should be called simply "Outlook" while the software article should be "Microsoft Outlook (software)"? And that third article moved to Exchange Online. Maybe that would clear up confusion and be more accurate too. 148.252.129.141 (talk) 17:09, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
