No clue personally, but I'd love to know this too (so sorta a bump for that). Much of my team at work are on Macs, but not everyone, so if we could get it so that they could use it/subscribe as well, that would be great.

how can macs be integrated into the workplace, when we can't even sync or transfer simple calendar and contact data from AdderssBook or Entourage into the most popular work application OUTLOOK?

can't anyone come up with a solution.
it can't be just me who needs to transfer data

Try renaming it to a vcs file and see if you can open that in outlook.

Try this

This works for networks. They also have an app called Address X that let's you work with contacts on the Exchange server.

Nice, though as we are a small company, we don't have an exchange server. I wonder if they could make a version that avoids this - long shot, but it would be nice if it worked.

i don't have an exchange server either.
this will not work.

Apple must be compatible with the PC world if we are going to attempt to enter that market

There is a lot of potential, but I agree that there should be some kind of conduit that allows them to be compatible with us via webcal:// etc. ...gotta add that group calendar support though.

Doesn't iCal use the same standard calendar format that Mozilla uses? Perhaps you could go through there and get it to Outlook somehow.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
