Default miss the bell: reminder symbol display on calendar

At this point in the product lifecycle, it's really not worth upgrading to
Outlook 2007 - plus the Bell is back in Outlook 2010.

You can add my company (and it's 4000+ users) to the list of those NOT
upgrading to Office 2007, at least paritally due to the disappearance of
the
bell.

As for Linux, it's wonderful for TechnoGeeks like me. It is however, NOT
"user friendly", and most "average" users would be lost in it, bearing in
mind that the "average" user wouldn't know a Commad Line if he tripped
over
it. Even the easiest to use Linux implementations like "Mint" baffle the
heck out of 'em, though in fairness, it would me too, if I wasn't really
comp-u-savvy.

I hope MS sees the error of their ways on this one. It's just not nice to
give users a helpful feature for years, then take it away without at least
making it possible to put it back. I'm a little confused how how they
thought missing critical information "streamlines" anything.

This is the eigth reason on my list to roll back to Office 2003 and
recommend
that others don't upgrade. Leaves me wondering whether Linux could
possibly
be this painful.

no it can't be updated and its unlikely they will add it in an update.
They
removed it to clean up and streamline the view. Reminders can be
enabled by
default and should be applied to all appointments when its enabled,
making
the icon unnecessary in the month view. you can use a table view If you
need
to look for items without reminders.

I thought 2007 was supposed to be "improved." It seems that features
that
were available in 2003 are now no longer available. As I keep track
of
both
my boss's calendar and my own, it was a quick verification by having
the
reminder symbol visible without opening each appointment. Any chance
that
2007 could be updated to include the reminder symbol?
