Adding Holidays to Windows Calendar in Vista

[Bill M.]

Okay, I've just spent the past 30 minutes trying to find a "clean" calendar
to import/subscribe to for my Vista Windows calendar and can't find one. I
think it's crazy that MS doesn't include a simple option to include holidays
in the Windows Calendar program as they have in the past. Or at the very
least, offer a clean calendar on their website that doen't include junk like
"Cindy's Birthday." What could be simpler?

Does anyone have a link to a "clean" calendar for US holidays that isn't
going to include anyone's personal days?

I guess there's more truth in Apple's commercials vs. PC that I would like
to admit. I'm highly tempted to make my next computer a Mac.

Thanks,

Bill

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I tried the links you listed below, but
they are just more links to shared calendar libraries, most (if not all) of
which I looked at yesterday. I've given up on Microsoft Calendar and plan on
using Google's calendar. They actually have a simple link to click on to add
holidays. It took me about two minutes (maybe even less). I still don't
quite understand why Microsoft makes it so hard to do a very common
task--especially when their past products handled it. I'm sure they meant
well, but in reality it seems to me to be a step backwards.

Best Regards,

Bill

it is very simple, you import the calendar with holidays as another calendar , so you then have 2 listed.
