      I have had general problems earlier regarding synching, so this time I ask someone with experience first...
      I have several PC's, say 2, one at office and one at home, both W7/Office 2010 (with Outlook).
      I also have a Phone 7.5.
      Home PC and Phone 7.5 is synching with Live ID/Hotmail (PC by using hotmail connector), works just fine.
      Can I just add hotmail connector to office PC the same way without loosing anything ?
      Special considerations during use ?

      The main usage is for common contact list and calendar.

      Hi,

      That’s a good idea. Actually, this is one of the calendar sharing solutions (completely free version) which is widely used in small workgroup.

      Please install Hotmail Connector on your office PC and input the account/password. That would be sync everything include mail, calendar, contact and etc.

      More reference:
      The MAPI protocol in Hotmail.

      Enjoying it.
