If that's all of the response you have, kindly go fist yourself.) They squandered it, and with the current economic environment and the threat of Google, I think the juggernaut is asleep no more.(NOTE: "It works fine for me in my piddly sandbox on my home computer." is not a valid response to the criticism and concerns outlined in this post. With the resources at Apple's disposal, they should be a true contender in the Enterprise space after the past decade of Microsoft complacency. WTFBBQ? Then don't even get me started with the snail's progression of iWork. They've now had over 7 years to get Mail/Address Book/iCal to a respectable level. Don't even get me started on the horror that is calendar feature support on the iPhone.If Office 2010 includes a true Outlook client that is feature compatible with the latest in Windowsland WRT Contact/Calendar/E-mail, Apple might as well through in the Enterprise towel. I now use CalDav + CompanionLink + Google Calendar to keep iCal straightened out (and it's not perfect itself). Are you sure? Yes/No/KTHXFU!" as a prompt would be better, for Christ's sake.)I spent huge amounts of time manually managing my calendar in iCal to the point where I finally just gave up. ("Yo fucker! This is going to delete 300 meetings off your calendar. Worse, I don't know which of these three voodoo solutions iCal picked unless I thumb through my calendar! There is never any kind of indication from iCal that it had a problem with the ICS file. iCal may do any of the following:1) Remove the meeting from my calendar.2) Remove every entry for the meeting from my calendar.3) Not do anything.Which of these options iCal may pick is a bit of voodoo. iCal may do any of the following:1) Add them all to the calendar.2) Add just the first entry to the calendar.3) Not do anything.Then, let's say I get a cancel for a recurring meeting. (Shudders as he remembers his days doing IT and supporting Outlook) To me it's just iCal's inability to deal with them in a user-friendly manner.For example, I get an invite for a recurring meeting. Fortunately I don't have to deal with that anymore.
But both are "good enough." Anyone who gets ICS invites from Lotus Notes or Outlook users can tell you that iCal most certainly isn't anything but a steaming pile of shit. And Address Book could definitely use some love. Quote:Originally posted by ClarkGoble:quote:Originally posted by JonT quote:Originally posted by ClarkGoble:iCal is very weak.
