You misunderstand me.  I didn't mean I don't use it because I found
something better.   I meant I don't use it because I have no use for
shared calendaring at all.  Since I don't use it I am not up to date on
all the details of what is better than what and how.

However, every time I have used it in the past or seen it used it was
worked very well.  While the non-email solutions I have seen were
kludges at best.

Frankly the one thing that Microsoft does a good job of is tightly
integrated applications.  We may hate outlook but we can't dispute the
fact that it works and it is easy to use.  It just isn't for us.
Luckily we have alternatives.

Some day I may try Google's alternative but since I don't really have a
use for it that is pretty low priority.  I don't think I have been to a
company meeting since 2000.
