Windows Live Calendar nowadays is very similar to Google Calendar. It should be possible to sync it e.g. with Android via ActiceSync. Some time ago I managed to do this with Android 2.3. I don't have this setup any more, so if you need details try searching for "windows live activesync" or something similar.

oh yeah, awesome point. I'm totally dependent on the calendar. I share with my gf and friends... That's a tough one. Why google, why? ='(
