While more and more people are starting to use the Tab button to jump to the next field (to fill out an Outlook appointment for example) instead of using the mouse, I often find people struggling when they reach a date field.
They either look at a physical calendar first to determine the future date (when the date math gets hard) and then type the date or they still grab to a mouse.
How can you do this faster and still without a mouse?

How can I set it back to the way it was in Outlook 2010?
