Dazzla Veteran Posted July 17, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 17, 2002 http://mac.com/1/mac_newfeatures.html A lot of this sort of stuff wil be coming out in the next day or so. Calendar PublishingMac OS X version 10.2 includes iCal, a calendar that lets you create work, personal, and group calendars using separate or integrated views. With .Mac it's easy to publish a calendar to the Internet for your family, your community group, or yourself. Other iCal users can download your calendar and they can even subscribe for automatic updates.

Yep, and indeed the more software the better. Apple will get teh $50 dollars out of me cause it's a not a bad deal, but if they don't add anything worthwhile, they won't be getting $100 out of me.

Bling3k12 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 plus, iCal is a full application... not just an internet service like MSN Calendar... they can sync it with the .mac service so you can use it on the web if you would like...

It is not an online service, it is a program you install that imports data from various calendar sources. You can post your information online if you have a .mac membership or a WebDAV server. You can't compare iCal to that POS MSN Calendar. MSN Calendar is only web based and has nothing related with iCal.

Paulstorm Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Interesting! Looks cool. We'll see how it runs. I think you can easily compare .mac to MSN 8. Both provide a slew of similar services (more storage space, photo space, email anti-viral scanner etc), and take advantage of the power (in microsoft terms: "richness") of a desktop machine. The MSN 8 Calendar blows the web-based version away. I like it better than Outlook's calendar application. Apple has had the iDisk service in place for awhile...while the MSN Communications team is still working on their unified storage platform. Still got another year to wait for Microsoft's hard drive in the sky to be released. At any rate, it looks like the .mac service ($99/yr) will be cheaper than a year-long MSN 8 BYOA subscription.

I dont know where you get your numbers, but I use pocketpc ever since my palm3c couldnt cut it and was slow as hell. I like an OS that upgrades ever so offen not once every 3 years. I like all the ADD ons availble for pocketpc. I like doing instant messaging via my pocketpc, can palm do that? and even if it could its too damn slow.

What makes you think even more is Microsoft, with 95% market share of Desktop PCs announced .NET Services 2 years ago and has little to nothing tangible to show for it. And a company with 5% market share delivers something at their announcement of .mac and has many tangible services available TODAY, not.."in the future" Kinda makes you think...
