[Closed] The most boring thread of the day - PC iCal equivalent...

Google

But doesn't each user have to log in to that? I'd rather have something that each user can access from the desktop & not have to log in via a browser.

Outlook surely?

Or Thunderbird with whatever their plug-in calendar is.

I see where your coming from there but a browser is just another bit of software, I log into it about once a month now and it stays logged in. Is this for work? YOu should be able to use Outlook/thunderbird/em client etc with your mail provider to do a calendar.

share several calendars over a network, allowing each user to modify if required.

Live.com does this afaik.

I think calendars follow an open standard, so they can all sync with each other. You may not be familiar with this concept as an Apple user 😉 You could almost certainly find a desktop calendar client that would work with the different options. Live also supports different calendars within the same provider afaik - my phone syncs with my personal one, a fmaily one and my google one.

As for logging in - the sites all remember you so you just open the bookmark and it's all there.

Google Calendar would be my vote. I don't really see why the browser should be an issue, but there's a [url= https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-calendar/ejjicmeblgpmajnghnpcppodonldlgfn ]Chrome App[/url] version if that tickles your barnacles any better? (Though I'm not immediately seeing any benefit over a shortcut to the web page...)

Ok - think I've found it - Sunrise calendar. Uses the google calendar, but makes it look pretty & runs in a 'stand-alone' app.

I used to use google calendar until they messed around and made accessing shared calendars from windows devices difficult. Now using outlook.com with no problems to date on anyones device.
