No, the de-standardizing of Google Calendar is Microsoftization.
1. Release something that's compatible with another popular thing.
2. Build up a huge following.
3. Remove the compatibility.
4. ???
5. Profit!
It's the same thing that happened with NT and OS/2 compatibility. I'm not sure if Excel can still deal with Lotus files, but Excel got popular because of its Lotus compatibility.
