If you use the Google calendar, you can connect it to Outlook.
Using Outlook 2007, the calendar will be listed under Other calendars.
Changes made to the Google calendar will be updated automatically,
approximately hourly. At this time it's a one-way sync: you cannot make
changes in Outlook and update the calendar at Google.
In older versions of Outlook, download the ics file and use File/Import
Export to import the events to the default Calendar folder. Events are not
updated automatically, you'll need to download the ics file and import it
again (which will result in duplicates of existing items).
If you use Vista, you can add it your Vista Calendar using steps similar to
those used for Outlook 2007.
