The only thing its lacking is what the old Hotmail Calender would do for me. I relied heavily on the old Hotmail Calender to send an email alert, warning me of a Calendar event. So far, I haven't been able to figure out how the new Windows Live Calendar Beta does this. If anyone knows, please let me/us know. Thanks!!!!

Please, add quickly Windows Mobile Syncronization (with Windows Live for Windows Mobile and making the Outlook Connector 12.1 capable to use the syncronized windows live calendar as the DEFAULT calendar).

Without Windows Mobile Sync, this Online Calendar is completely futile.

I put my vote in for mobile support too. I was really hoping to hear about sync options to my Windows Mobile. Windows Live is pretty much useless to me and millions of sales people without synchronizing where we do work the most - away from our computers.

The iCal sync and Print Views are pretty sweet, but the rest are just windows-dressing features that don't increase my productivity one bit. I find it hilarious that the ability to change calendar colors is being touted as a great new features. That's what most companies wouldn't even mention in their sales brochures. Is Microsoft that desperate to find positive points in their products nowadays?

I second or third the opinion that it MUST sync to my Windows Mobile SmartPhone through the Live Mobile app for it to be useful at all... I would welcome this to have a useful family calendar that both my wife and I can share from our desktops and phones ... the critical nature is through the phones and to make it an automatic sync OTA NOT needing to be tethered to a desktop.

Yes, while this is good for Windows Live Hotmail users, it creates a very inconsistent experience for Windows Live Mail users. A desktop offering that integrates tasks, appointments, notes, reminders and printable calendars would be such a super hit with a lots of users who cannot afford Outlook or find it a bit advanced for their needs. Also, synchronization with Windows Mobile would be great. So many times I've seen everyone demand a desktop calendar. I hope MS listens to us. :)

It could still use a desktop application, maybe within Windows Live Mail?

It'd be also awesome if they could include a countdown panel, where you can add countdown clocks for a special day/event. The panel could include a "live" countdown of how much longer it would take for the day/event to finally come.

They could also make a site where users can share Live Calendars or subscribe to them. And maybe a way to search for public events happening in the area, so you can add them to your calendar.

Also a widget/gadget would be nice too. I could find the day's events on the sidebar, or share my month's view with people on Live Spaces. It could just display the month at the top, with day squares, and square that have color(s) indicate a type of calendar, and you can hover over it to see the event and add it.

I'm glad the Calendar team has finally done something.

Still think it really needs the ability to sync from a desktop based tool, like Outlook 2007 & have automatically keep calendar upto date..obviously at the moment we can do this with mail and contacts..but we need calendar to make it truly useful..that way while out and about u can access your details on any web enabled device....

Are the birthday calendars impervious to time-zone shifts? I've lived in 4 different time zones in the last decade, and synchronization of calendars for events has totally wrecked my knowledge of when anyone's birthday occurs.

Not so interesting, at least until I can use it as part of Windows Live Desktop suite and sync it with my Windows Mobile device.
