Microsoft To Launch (Web-based) Live Calendar
In a move to response to the popular Google Calendar, Microsoft is rolling out slowly the new Windows Live Calendar today (be patient, the link might point to Hotmail, you can try later!). According to LiveSide, the updated Web-based calendar application comes with similar features:
- Day, Week, Month, and Agenda views customizable by name and color
- Create multiple calendars
- Share your calendars with other Windows Live users
- Receive email reminders of scheduled events
- Share calendars via xml
- Import ICS files from Outlook, Google Calendar or other calendar apps

Until we try this out to know for sure, but apparently, there’s no synchronization capability for now, however LiveSide reports that Microsoft is working on the ability to synchronize your Windows Live Calendar with Outlook and/or Windows Mobile. This is great news for WM users indeed!
Update: Microsoft reportedly is trickling out a new sync framework allowing synchronization its traditional desktop client apps with the new Web-base apps (Microsoft Live). According to the download site, Microsoft Sync Framework will enable "collaboration and offline scenarios for applications, services and devices." That includes P2P synchronization of relational databases, NTFS/FAT file systems and all sorts of data ranging from contacts to music, videos, and user settings. Read more HERE!
