Desktop Calendar Software that pulls from Outlook

[someuser190826]

Hey all I have been on a mission to make my life easier than anything (easier then the instinctive behaviours of eating!).

I have Outlook Live! (integrates my hotmail Calendar) to my Outlook, so now I can check my calendar online, and it syncs with Outlook. Now I want to make it so my calendar in Outlook is displayed on the desktop all the time. I need to be able to see tasks, events coming up (customizable).

Free, preferably! If anyone has any suggestions, please and thank you!

Hey thanks for that, but it only pulls from the main calendar....it is not taking tasks from the hotmail one.

Can't help you there unfortunately. I know it integrates with Outlook, but I never really used the function as I always just dial my computer home to look at my schedule.

Hey ManagerJosh, thanks for your help. I just wanted to update everyone on what I did.

I decided to abandon Hotmail's calendar, and will be abandanoning Microsoft Outlook Live as well.

I opted for Google Calendar (http://calendar.google.com) and Google Desktop (http://desktop.google.com) along with the Google Calendar gadget (http://desktop.google.com/plugins/i/gdcalendar.html).

It seems to work find looks nice. Now only if I can get Outlook to synch with Google .

Thanks.
