Default Share calendar w/out Exchange

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).

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!
