I'm on vacation, so consider me not a Microsoft employee for the next two
paragraphs. iSync makes sense to me if it is an open architecture. If it
truly is only for Apple applications, that's truly a shame, that tells me
that Apple is much more interested in their application business than they
are in the platform business. FWIW: with the new Palm Conduit we shipped a
generic Entourage Sync engine. You will see other products using it in the
near future. Probably before Apple ships iSync. It lets anything transfer
data into and out of Entourage's Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Notes
modules.

Today's keynote left a bitter taste in my mouth because Apple continues to
borrow heavily from the work that we've done in Entourage. Their new Address
Book and the iCal window look strikingly similar to Entourage. Funny, I
always thought Microsoft was the one who supposedly borrowed all of Apple's
ideas.

P.S., two years ago at MWNY there were a series of quotes on the wall of the
iMac pavilion. One of them was the Picasso quote, "Good artists borrow,
great ones steal" :)

I still love Apple, I just respect them a little less today.
