I believe MS is doing its client base a dis-service in this day of expanding
laptop usage/multiple pc homes by not implementing a simple methodology for
synchronizing Outlook calendars between a laptop and desktop PC or between
multiple PCs in a LAN. If anyone from MS is monitoring this site I would
like to suggest that it would seem that this sort of thing would be a
trivial patch which would be welcomed by a majority of the user community.
 
The same can be said about tasks and contacts or active sync not being able
to sync public folders or sub folders to the PDA.
If all this was available in Office already, a lot of people would not need
Exchange server....
 
Bingo - and you have your answer. Why would Microsoft make an avenue to
avoid the revenue to be had by an Exchange and Licenses purchase, silly you?

Although, we MVPs have been rallying the flag for this for non-exchange
users for quite some time. It may actually happen in the next version or 2.

I don't expect that. Everything points to MS wanting to move to subscription
based on-line services with returning revenues.
MS knows that the next Office version will include a lot of features that
nobody needs or uses so revenues from Office are expected to drop further and
further.
Very many people will continue to use office 2000 for a very long time
because the later versions have nothing they realy can't do without.
The same is happening with the OS and server market. Let's face it... it's
only the 'nerds' like us that are interested in new features and gadgets.
'Normal' peope want to type a letter and send an email and that's about it.
 
Help

How do I get my 4 computers to have synchronized outlook calendars. I use
several computers throughout the day and would like to see the same
information on whatever computer I'm using along with my blackberry.
