Alrighty, if I was Mac OS X only, syncing AddressBook data either manually or with iSync etc would do it and very easily.
But is there a good way to keep the contacts of Mac's AddressBook and Windows, say XP's Outlook in sync?
Or if anyone is actually keeping their AddressBook and Outlook contacts in sync, how do you do it?
I don't like using Outlook, or XP, but there is no choice for that.
Also the XP is on a physical PC - if I could simply use it as a virtual machine in Fusion, I'd simply drag and drop the new contacts to my AddressBook and that's it. I don't care to keep all contacts on Outlook or Windows Addressbook side either - but I want to add the new contacts to my AddressBook of Mac. Ideally without taking every single contact there manually.
Using Thunderbird etc Mozilla's horror named mail clients is not an ideal solution either. I don't want to import my several GB sized Outlook data to it only to export some contacts, and on the Mac side I don't want to move out of AddressBook's formats.
Any ideas?
Create a new XP virtual machine, sync from Outlook to Outlook Express etc between the physical and virtual Windows, then drag and drop between the virtual machine and the host Mac?
Or create a virtual machine on both sides, in Workstation and in Fusion, and use Ubuntu's AddressBook to sync to host and then sync the data between that, or even use the same virtual machine?
Or just keep something like DSL and minimum AddressBook on a USB thumbdrive and use that?
All the options I can think of are very manual... how to script it?
How do you sync 'em?
