Microsoft Outlook sends users back to 1930 with (very) mini-Millennium-Bug glitch

In short, the application won't let the user navigate to a date after December 31, 2029, using the date field [Ctrl + G] and abbreviating the year. If they key in the 01/01/30, Outlook sends the user back to 1930, where they may have to deal with a collapsing global economy and rising fascism.

Keen users can test this with a control: key in 31/12/29 and they will land in the future to enjoy floating skateboards and food in pill form. If they key in the date in full, they seem to end up in the correct era. Using the GUI and clicking a diary entry after 2030 seems to work fine, too. In comparison with the existential challenges facing humanity, an Outlook date glitch may seem a small thing. But still one worth fixing.
