Let's say I've got some people that I do business with that primarily
use Google calendar. I use Outlook 2007 in an Exchange environment.
I'd like to be able to schedule appointments with my Exchange contacts
and my GMail contacts and look at the free/busy information for each
type of contact, pulling info from Exchange and / or GCalendar
respectively.

Is such a thing possible?

I've seen a number of syncing products out there (oggsync, SyncMyCal,
ScheduleWorld most notably), but syncing isn't exactly what I am
hoping for. Somehow I'm not even sure if this would work. Hmmm...

Thanks for any suggestions!

You would have to ask Google what free/busy options they support.

So obvious, it can't be seen! ;)

I'll get in contact with some Googlers if I can. I find it hard to
believe that no-one else has ever wanted to do this, so I was hoping
that someone had already found a solution.

Thanks for the suggestion. Anyone else have any ideas?
