I have been desperately searching for useful ways to consolidate project
management with both iCal and Outlook formatted users.

This is why I am willing to try out this beta version of Outlook

However, my publishing of my calendar is not working nor is the subscription
feature.

I can set up the subscription and every time I go into the settings, it
disappears or deletes.

When I restart, the settings are no longer there.

FIX THIS AND YOU WILL HAVE VALUE.
