Google released an in-house tool yesterday for syncing Google Calendar with Outlook. Yay! I have tried all the other free solutions, and none of them worked. They either synced n0thing or they duplicated everything every couple of days. The new sync tool works great.

Even more, GMail users will be able to chat with each other, without having to install Google Talk. A step closer to complete web-based applications.
