How to Sync Google Calendar for Windows
Google Calendar provides access to your calendar through a web interface, making it available from any computer with Internet access. This can be convenient if you use different computers or travel but you may prefer to use the outlook calendar client when on your home computer. Fortunately, Google offers a calendar syncing utility that will automatically sync your Google and Outlook calendars.
