Multiple Outlook 12 Calendars in Google Calendar

I use multiple Exchange servers (personal, work, etc.) As anyone who has tried knows, this is a particularly unforgiving and unhelpful scenario–Outlook won’t allow you to create more than one Exchange account per profile, and I’ve tried everything. Multiple profiles of course simply don’t cut it. So what’s a person to do when they have their work Exchange/Outlook setup, and their personal Exchange/Outlook setup?

I had high hopes when I installed Office Beta 2. Sure enough, there was the promise of Office Online and published calendars:

I tried out the “Publish My Calendar” link, which takes you to register first, then on to publishing specifics (details, how many days, who can see it), which takes you to the Office Online site, displaying your calendar. A cool option, but I use my Google Calendar pretty heavily, and I don’t intend to switch soon. But see that little “Subscribe to Internet Calendar” in the middle? I thought I’d take a look at that. Turns out it’s a webcals:// (yes, webcals) link to an ICS for my calendar. I grabbed the URL, replaced webcals:// with http:// and plugged it into my Google Calendar.

Presto.
