I use my Mac as my main computer, but I also have a PC laptop. In our
organization, we have a few managers & secretaries that are cross platform,
and this has worked for all of them.

The Mac Outlook client stores the calendar in "Schedule+" format, and the
win outlook client stores it in its own format. Luckily, there's a nifty
little program that gets installed with full office installs called
"Schedule+", or schd32.exe (or some DOS cut-up name) and this program can
read and write the schedule+ calendar files, either in file format, or from
an exchange server.

Now this isn't an ideal solution, as I doubt the schedule+ can be set up to
interpret outlook meeting requests by default on the PC side of things, but
it works out just dandy for Mac-based-me. =)

Hope this helps. Maybe... someday... we can all share calendars with ease.
In the interim, I'd suggest making everyone use Schedule+ (if its worth it
to your organization).
