I'm sure it'd work as advertised if the entire world uses OS 10 and iCal. However, real world usage here is a different experience. It seems like people with outlook can't accept or see these at all?

Granted ive not tried in over a year, but this is solely due to the great headaches the calendar app has caused me in the past due to meeting invites not getting received, confirmations not getting received and frequent double bookings with coworkers using exchange/outlook. Would be great if you could update the article with some info on the app's current capabilities and/or fixes to interact with outlook.

Additionally I would add that I am a die hard Mac fan and was excited to be using iCal or Calendar at work. Im not now. It has to be the most unthought through program Apple has written or put their name on. I know there are some that use it personally and love it as I did with my handful of weekly reminders or "events" and thought it to be decent. But for anything small to mid-size I wouldnt even consider it. And companies over 100??? Buy and shoot yourself first its a lot less painful. Weird, I actually miss Outlook.

Please add some value. As it stands this article may as well be a feature list of the Calendar app found on Apple's site.
