Apparently our typical installer for Visio 2016 and our 365 license use “incompatible installers” so it is going to be a pain in the ass for me to have both installed at the same time. Thankfully I’m trusted by IT so I might be able to just do it myself.
I think the point was that the format itself is odd. I am European and it’s weird to me: logically it should be either from greatest to smallest, or from smallest to greatest, not a weird in-between.
Now if only it would stop dropping leading zeros unless you ask it, and we got rid of the MM/DD/yyyy date format entirely.
That appears to actually be a feature.
Holy shit! Now I just need to talk to some sysadmins and get some group policies set.

MM/DD/YYYY is the correct format here in America.

Logically it would be milliseconds since 1970.
Not very good for birthdates.
