Google Calendar Sync

Google just released “Google Calendar Sync”, an application for two-way sync between Google Calendar and Outlook. The value of this feature is obvious. I tried to achieve the same thing with an unreliable third party tool some time ago, but it was unreliable in the sense that it erased all events in my outlook calendar (!). My first action after that was to uninstall it and accept to live with two separate calendars. One calendar instead of two is what the promise is from the Google calendar team. I use Google calendar for planning all the family-related activities together with my wife and Outlook planning work-related activities. My expectation is that these two worlds can have a happier marriage with less conflicts and misunderstandings.
