This is not really news, but I missed it when it first broke.

Brandon LeBlanc at Longhorn Blogs is excited. Windows Vista will feature “an exciting new application” called Windows Calendar. Users will be able to set up multiple calendars designated by different colors with different events for each calendar. (Cf. Microsoft’s innovative new Windows Mail app.)

The new application will support the .ics file standard, which will allow Mac users to send event invitations to the rest of the world. Outlook 12 will also have full .ics support, apparently. No more hacking away at iCal‘s mail.scpt.
