Raymond once had an article about why the date/time control panel is not a calendar https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20050621-04/?p=...

In Windows 7 they've finally given up and the UI lets you easily scroll up and down through months after clicking on the clock. (Edit: sorry I meant Windows 10)

You mean seen sense? How often do you change the date or time on your computer? Probably never since it's automatic these days.

How often do you want to know the date, or what day of the week a day is? I'm guessing a lot more than never.

The old UI was stupid.

And since Windows 10 1607 it shows your calendar events.
