Perhaps I misunderstand when people are trying to accomplish with their
calendars. All I know is that on my Mac (OS 8.5.1, Outlook 8.0, which was
the Exchange 5.5 mac client) I can open everyone else's shared calendars
(created on pc's), and given the right permissions I can edit them. The
rest of the business is running on PCs. We have a "CompanyWide" calendar
shared off a PC where we keep track of who is in and out of the office. I
edit it almost everyday on my mac. Note that I a using the Exchange 5.5 mac
(Outlook) client with Exchange 5.0, which seems to work fine. At any rate,
I had the same level of functionality with the old Exchange 5.0 mac client.
I just upgraded for the heck of it. If this is the kind of functionality
being discussed and I am not missing somthing, than it would appear that
M$'s statement you quote is incorrect.

(We are using Exchange 5.0 SP1 on NT 4.0SP2)
