Yes but I think in WLCalendar, SMS is only functional in the US.

I am not a US citizen, so that's why Google Calendar is better for me since it covers all the world with its SMS service.

briankerri: yes Outlook 2007 uses ICS, so you will be able to import an Outlook 2007 calendar into Windows Live Calendar. More details here:

www.windowslive-hotmail.com/.../default.aspx

but basically File>Save As> your calendar to the desktop (it will save in .ics format), and then import that file into WL Cal, either as a new calendar or into an existing one, where it will allow you to deal with duplicates

SMS in 2010? Nope with the first release. It uses Windows Live Alerts for reminders. You can have them delivered via SMS and/or email and/or WL Messenger.

I prefer to stay with google calendar, since all my calendar is set there and i get free sms messages on any event thats going to happen on my calendar.

from now till WLCalendar gets this SMS feature, maybe it will be in 2010.

too late Microsoft.... im not interested anymore in your calendar.

hope you enjoy it guys.

(Disclaimer--I haven't actually used it myself yet, I'm just basing this off the prerelease info and the screenshot.)

This is a huge step forward from MSN Calendar, but I'm not sure it really betters Google Calendar in any way. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess. But synching should definitely be a huge priority.

Nice to finally see Calendar out.

I've not had any problems since it's "release" Friday, still able to use it today, signing in and out and so forth. A lot of "disconnect" problems, normal for just being released and probably a large number of people poking around with it.

Don't like the fact that it did not carry over my calendar entries from MSN Calender to Live Calender. It's still not linked properly from Hotmail, or from the Orb menu, have to go directly to Calender.live.com at this time. Disappointed they only are offering one print view, agenda style. And would like to see events description visible in the block in week view. it's visible in the mouseover, but *more* helpful if it's visible in the block.

LIKE the quick add function, great for when I need to pop something in there quickly. Would definitely like to see my Uni do a calendar that I could subscribe to

Can't wait to see what more they will do with Live Calendar. All in all....a huge step forward for Calendar!

I'm thrilled its finally out (kind of)!

I got signed up last night and its working for me. Yes, its somewhat limited now, but this is the very beginning of a beta so I'm sure after some time it will be fully functional with other software.

I'm sure there will be a "Windows Live Calendar" app soon because when you click "sign up for the Windows Live Calendar beta" it takes you to Windows Live's software download page.

I am so hyped! With this and the upcomming "Office Live Workspace" I'll be able to move away from Google.

Very minimalistic.

Needs outlook access like the old calendar.

needs old calendar items in it.

Phunky afaik it should carry over information from your MSN Calendar. Give it a try when its launched properly and that should happen.

Damn, it's down again. It looks so cool. It would be helpful if there was an activeX that let reminders from it pop up.
