Erinnerung Termin
In the beta Version it is not possible to create a individual reminder for a meeting / apponintment. You just can set the reminder for some steps. In the normal Version you can set a reminder more individual. It would be helpful, when it is possible to get the choise for the reminder like now in the beta when you create the appointment with normal settings, and additional it would be very good if you can set the reminder mor exactly in the appointment.

ICS
On the previous version of Outlook.com, when someone would email me a .ics attachment, I was given the option to add the event directly to my calendar. This seems to be missing from the beta and I can only download the ics as an attachment.

Add EasyJet flight emails to calendar automatically

Viewing Calendar Appointments
I want to see category colours as on the old calendar as this helps me to quickly identify the difference between essential and non essential appointments. I also want to be able to see all appointments scheduled in the weekly/monthly view, not just the first appointment input for a particular day. It's deceptive when only one appointment shows up.

I wish for improved Recurrence options in the calendar.
The Outlook calendar I use at work has a much better "Recurrence" facility than this Outlook that is used by Hotmail. I need to schedule future events way out automatically on for instance the third Wednesday of each month, and the first weekday of each month. Do you plan to add this functionality to this hotmail version?
Thanks,

CALENDAR
When adding a 28 day schedule, it only allows daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. The option of every forth friday of the month is not acceptable, some months have 5 fridays.

Beta Calendar needs to allow the details to be put in for appointments i.e. charms, catagorize, add links and documents.
Add the functionality for deatails i.e. charms, catagorizing, adding links and documents, skype calls sharing, inviting... without it, Outlook becomes a pretty useless
