I've never tried the Windows port.  I avoid Windows wherever possible :)

Evolution, even on *nix, is far from a polished masterpiece like Exchange.
(I'm assuming that Exchange must be a masterpiece after many years of
costly marketing at MS.)

OTOH, I do use google docs to share spreadsheets with people at work, and
I can see that google is working hard to improve the product before MS can
capture the software-as-service market.  Hard for me to believe that google
would want to piss off Exchange users in such a clumsy way (even though I
suggested exactly that in my previous post ;)

Even if the problem really is the google docs API, I'm guessing that the
API is still in development and is changing rapidly (judging only by their
spreadsheet service, though.  I don't share my calendar with my workmates,
God forbid!  I don't want them to know what I'm doing... ;)
