I can see another side to all of this. You tell the IT guys that you need a calendar that the iPhone can connect to. They don't comply. Your choices are to not have one or do it yourself. I have chose do it yourself a lot. I guess what I am saying is that maybe if IT were more receptive / accommodating to requests from their users then they would have less of a problem with people bringing in their own servers.

I disagree. You pay 400 for a product that should work properly. I am still pissed my xbox doesn't read the games. Yeah you can live with little kinks but any gamer knows how freaking annoying it is to have a box that crashes all of the time. You pay for it expecting to be able to play the games, if you can't because it keeps crashing then what have you paid for??? Microsoft should have never shipped a diffective product (I say as if that isn't knew to them) and I think everyone who has bought one should sue so that Microsoft won't want to do it again.
