Post by SvenWell, I am somewhat (perversely) pleased that the link indicates
RIM doesn't sync with Vista Calendar.....either. There were a lot
of irritated folks discovering that Windows Mobile didn't, when
Vista came out. Still doesn't BTW, in case someone was wondering.
We were only irritated because MS stopped including a copy of Outlook with
new Windows Mobile 6 devices. I certainly assumed that move indicated that
Vista Calendar/Mail (Contacts) sync was imminent since MS certainly
wouldn't "strand" WinMo users wit out a desktop PIM to sync to, would they?
But, you know what happens when you "ASS U ME"... ;-) Over a year later,
still no included Outlook, and no sync wth Vista Calendar or Mail.
Having said that, if you like your solutions needlessly complicated and
kludgey, you can kinda sorta sync Vista Cal with either a Blackberry or WMD
(Windows Mobile Device- not the other kind!)
Using third-party software like Goosync or Oggsync, you sync the mobile
device with Google Calendar, then "subscribe" to your Google Calendar in
Vista Calendar.
Details are here:

vistas-windows-calendar>
However, the catch is that the connection between Google Calendar and Vista
Calendar is one way- anything entered in VC will not sync back to Google.
VC simply reads and displays what's in your Google Calendar. Therefore,
all calendar updates, additions, edits, etc. must be made either on the
device, or in Google Calendar. Vista Calendar essentially becomes just a
non-cloud-based local "display copy" of the Google Calendar.
Better than nothing, I suspect, but not by much! ;-)
