Because who would want to modify their own calendar

Outlook is a pretty cool piece of software. I use it for email, contacts, and calendar stuff. It syncs with SharePoint pretty well which is also cool. One big flaw it has though is that there's one thing my phone's crummy no-name calendar app can do that Outlook can't and that is modify internet calendars. I use Google calendar a lot to coordinate calendars with different groups of people. Outlook can only open them read-only. That is just amazingly inconvenient. Why can my phone app do something Outlook can't? My iPod can modify Exchange calendars and Google calendars. Does Microsoft want to be the third stringer? Clearly Microsoft could make it work if they cared, but making an application that works the way people want it to is clearly not their goal.

That's why I hate Microsoft today.

Office 2016 is supposed to be coming out next month. Maybe there's hope.
