Removal of "Publish to Internet" Robots Exclusion

[Guest]

When using the "Publish to Internet" feature of Outlook 2007, my Calendar is
automatically published to a URL on the calendars.office.microsoft.com
subdomain. This allows other Outlook users to easily subscribe to my
calendar, however there seems to be some sort of filter which stops third
party services (such as Google Calendar) from using the calendar.

Many of my friends use Google Calendar, and I think that it would make
things a lot easier if they could subscribe to my calendar in this manner.

I believe it's a security limitation - they use passport authentication and
Google does support it. I suppose you could ask Google to sign on to the
passport program.

You can publish it to any WebDAV server so you could easily publish it to
any server and give friends and family access using typical authentication
methods, which should work for Google. (Although I haven't tested it with my
Google calendar.)

You could also get your own Google calendar and publish your outlook
calendar there...
