Gmail recognizes Outlook meeting requests Feb15 '07

I noticed a feature of Gmail that I didn't know existed. When I get an Outlook meeting request sent to my Gmail account, I get some options to add to my Google Calendar.

I can either accept the meeting, deny it, or just say "maybe." It also shows my agenda and other events for that day.

This is an extremely handy feature, and just one step closer to me solely using Gmail for business and personal email accounts.
