| | Automatic sync of Live Calendar and Windows Calendar in Vista? Is this possible? The new beta imports the Windows Calendar data on installation but is there a way of maintaining syncronisation between then two? My phone syncs to Windows Calendar, which is useful - I'd like this to sync to Live Calendar too. If it's not possible currently, are there any plans to add this functionality? |

| | Re: Automatic sync of Live Calendar and Windows Calendar in Vista? I doubt it. That's what Live Mail is for. Perhaps by the time Windows 7 is released there will be a stand-alone calendar for synchronization, but I was pretty sure bundled Windows applications such as Windows Vista Calendar never receive feature updates, only major bug fixes and security patches? Is that correct? Josh "Al" <Al@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:51AF0FCD-4C69-4AA1-BFA2-D52A1DEBF502@xxxxxx Quote: > Is this possible?

| | Re: Automatic sync of Live Calendar and Windows Calendar in Vista? Both of you are correct. WL Mail only imports data from Win Calendar on first-run, and doesn't continue to keep 2-way sync between the two applications. There is no plan to add this in the future. Eyal (dev).

| | Re: Automatic sync of Live Calendar and Windows Calendar in Vista? Hm, this sounds like a showstopper for me. How is this inteded to be used? Using two calendars forever? Using Live Calendar as a complete replacement for Windows Calendar should definitely a focus for LC. And as eg. phone sync software uses Windows Calenar, LC should be able to open local calendars r/w, not just import. "Eyal [MSFT]" wrote: Quote: > Both of you are correct.

| | Re: Automatic sync of Live Calendar and Windows Calendar in Vista? Wov, how very helpful. Agree you intend to replace Windows Calendar with the Calendar in Live Mail, but till then, how the hell are we supposed to use them? Import and Export everytime between Windows Calendar and Online Windows Live Calendar? "Eyal [MSFT]" wrote: Quote: > Both of you are correct.

| | Re: Automatic sync of Live Calendar and Windows Calendar in Vista? Just saw the news on http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1285 Live Calendar will replace Windows Calendar in next Windows release, so we probably will only need one calendar in the future.

There is a more detailed article about Windows 7 here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10048142-56.html I kind of like the idea of Windows 7 being a bare-bones OS, and you flesh it out as desired with downloadable apps. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Arne" <Arne@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:F70B786A-5347-4E73-84CD-7783B0611F7E@xxxxxx Quote: > Just saw the news on > http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1285 > Live Calendar will replace Windows Calendar in next Windows release, so we > probably will only need one calendar in the future. > > "alsiladka" wrote: > Quote: >> Wov, how very helpful.
