@Chris,

Thanks for your answer! I hope so that Microsoft add this to the free version of Live.com. But, I doubt that this will take a long time... I hold my fingers crossed!

UwN we heard synch is on the cards, so hopefully that and mobile support will come soon. The existing outlook connector synchs with MSN Calendar if you are a Plus user, it'll be interesting to see if they make that free.

I'd just like to echo the WL Favorites comments above. And also don't forget live.com, the personalized version which now seems to have no correlation to live.com the non-personalized version.

Hmm, It's looks good!

Still no support to sync the calendar from MS Outlook. I hoped there was an option to sync but there is only an import/export function.

Does anybody knows when Microsoft will support/add this function?

The Calendar was very pretty and well fast.

I liked very.

The staff of Windows Live is of congratulations!

Not one to use calendar's much, just use it for birthdays really but importing from Vista's calendar was easy.

Wish there was no advert though seeing as I paid for hotmail plus.

Windows Live Hotmail should also integrate the chat-in-browser feature. When everything is done, then we can talk about competition between Hotmail, Gmal, and Yahoo.

I agree that Favorites & QnA deserve more attention. (just throwing my 2 cents out there...)

Favorites could evolve into a really great Digg-like service, maybe tying in to MSN, with top favorited stories showing up on MSN.com or something.

But then, it's not just about that collaborative aspect. It's also a sync tool. I sort of feel like the functionality should just be built right into IE8, though tying together browser and Live ID may violate Microsoft's non-bundling obligations. Too bad, that'd be fantastic....

Unfortunately if we knew anything on Favourites we would have posted it by now. We'll ask around though.

Still no B-Day alerts...

Why is it so hard?
