I am running Windows XP Prof edition and I just upgraded
to Outlook 2003. I want to be able to view/share an
outlook calendar with my roommate who also has a profile
on the same machine. Can I do this within Outlook.
Obviously I'm not going to purchase exchange for just one
computer. Help!?
 
Take a look here, it may help:

Please ask your company executives to remedy this situation. We pay a good price for the software and feel it's unfair that we can't fully utilize it without purchasing even more software -- from a different company at that. Thank you!
 
What are you talking about??

Some of the most innovative software comes from 3rd party developers -
they might be the next "Microsoft"... If MS doesn't buy them out first.

Even if MS provided a less expensive sharing option without Exchange,
it's still going to cost you... For example, if you buy Windows 2003, you
can use the Windows Sharepoint services to share your calendar, but you'll
need to buy win2003 and you'll need a machine to run it on. Or if they
do add calendar sharing to Outlook right out of the box, it will only be
for the new version, more money out of your pocket. :)
Cheap alternates include MSN or Yahoo calendars. Both offer calendar sharing
with intellisync.Yahoo's is free, MSN is either $5 or 10 per month (premium
service).
