Some people at our office have started using exchange for scheduling, and
it is already annoying.  My stance is typically to tell them to send me
something I can actually use.  By just ignoring all those MS-Word files
that get sent around, I can get a lot more work done. :)

But it might be handy to deal with meeting requests from gnus or vm.
