So, in the past, whenever I have exchanged invitations with people using Outlook on Windows, the invitations on either end always came through as text, forcing me/them to manually add the meeting to the calendar and copy over the details from the notice. Now, when I get an invite from Outlook, it shows up as a clickable ICS file that adds the meeting to the calendar, lets me select accept, reject, etc., and send a reply. When did this change? Is this something new with Tiger that I didn't notice? Since I usually don't use iCal for meetings with Outlook users, I haven't tested this in a while.
Pretty nice.

This one seems new to me too, a pleasant surprise.
Still no luck for me the other way around, though. If I send myself iCal appointments at my office, Outlook can't open them. iCal sends them across as vCards. Any workaround to this?  thanks!

Complain to Microsoft. They should support open standards like vCards!
