Right, that is the one limitation. I'm not sure if it will come back in the
next version of Outlook - they know some people want it back, but the reason
for removing it was for a cleaner look and more space - if you display very
many calendars side-by-side the reminder and meeting icons (and start/end
times) push the subject off the view. While an option to toggle them off
and on would be ideal, its not always easy (or bug free) to do it.
