My institution is moving to MS Live, whatever that means (I really am completely ignorant of the MS world, for better or for worse). I think this is somehow related to Exchange etc. so any type of integration with org would be greatly helpful for me! At first, all I care about is one way transfer, from the MS world to org but obviously two way syncing would be good. In my case, it's more about calendar events than tasks. My tasks are typically for my information only but meetings etc involve multiple people. I can try to help in due course. We haven't moved to the MS system yet so I cannot yet say how much I will be able to contribute.
