Windows strategy to see the "new" outlook soon
Windows 11 start screen
Just a year ago, I introduced the existence of "Project Monarch" as a major Microsoft project following "Sun Valley". [Photo] The Android app is called "ONE OUTLOOK" with another name provided through the Microsoft Store, and is currently a unified "Outlook" client that exists independently for each platform and device. The purpose is to provide it as a client app. According to Windows Central Zack Borden, who published the first report at that time, "Aiming to be released in 2021 together with Sun Valley", it would originally be around last fall, along with Sun Valley. It was scheduled to appear. SUN VALLEY is the name of a project that renews Windows user interface, and after a part of the functions (function updates) in Windows 10 (function updates) for the past 1-2 years, late 2021. It was expected to be provided as part of a large -scale update. But in fact, it is provided as an independent OS with Windows 10, which is now the latest OS known as "Windows 11". In other words, Project Monarch is considered to have appeared in the formal release and time of Windows 11. However, there is no official information about this at this time, and it can be determined that it has been canceled or postponed.
"New" Outlook is a slow start
After the Project Monarch, ZDNET's Mary Joe Folly reported. According to a source of information, monarch has repeatedly expanded the target range in Microsoft in the past few months, and is now expected to appear around the spring of 2022. The target platform is the desktop version of Windows (including ARM in Win32 / UWP), the desktop version of MacOS, and the web version, and the whole look and feel is close to that of the web version Outlook. However, his information does not contain Outlook information currently provided for Android and iOS, so it is unknown about the mobile version. Before the official release, this "new" Outlook will be provided to Dev Channel and Beta Channel users of Windows Insider Programs from late March to early April. In July or August, the provision to "Slow Channel" will be launched, and it will be an official release this fall later than the original schedule. Nevertheless, there is no distribution channel named "Slow Channel", so it probably means around Release Preview. In addition, the distribution target is “Windows Insider Program”, but the part of “Windows” instead of “Office” is a concern. This is a guess, but originally, Monarch has a side as an integrated client to replace Windows 10 "Mail & Calendar", and intends to implement it as part of the Windows function rather than downloading the app as an independent Outlook. I think there is. According to Joe Follies, the new apps have introduced the people involved that they may penetrate in a mild form rather than replacing the existing standard functions at once. It is Joe Folly's opinion that the name of the "new" Outlook, which is anxious, is not the "ONE OUTLOOK" mentioned by Borden, but simply "outlook". It is a source of confusion that clients with different functions are mixed, but if the UWP version is gradually replaced, and it will blend into a new look and feel, there will be no major confusion. think. In addition, Microsoft also stated that "there is no intention of replacing the existing desktop version Outlook for the time being", and the software, which was thought to be another feature with Windows 11, has resilted its role at once. It seems like.
