I may have written about this a dozen times on HN, but there was a time when Exchange refused to play nice with anything that wasn't an Outlook client. Even nowadays, Outlook doesn't support half a dozen standards that would allow better interoperability with other calendars and clients. Embrace, extend, extinguish is not something Microsoft has reneged of since the origin of the phrase back in the 90s.
