I’ve not yet upgraded to Vista, but I do like the sound of this and I’m thinking that my Windows Mobile 6-based smartphone would then probably sync with that calendar!
Another good reason for me to upgrade then - I may have to treat myself to a Vista upgrade later in the month when it’s my birthday!
