+1.

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.  Keep me in
the loop!
