Not only that, but they have to be well known personalities who have been renamed, to avoid thread drift. -

Outlook invited me to try the new Outlook yesterday. It said I could reverse the change if I didn't like it. At the first step it asked for a password I didn't know, and there was no way back. I had no email all day. Fortunately, when I rebooted my computer this morning it had reverted,
