    I can't believe people are rating this so low.

    I replaced Lightning (thunderbird) and Outlook calendar with this and NEVER looked back.
    I input stuff directly in Rainlendar and don't need the pro version (which only includes google calendar + outlook calendar support).

    It's free, portable, stable, and does what it says! Right now it's taking 8.3MB with a calendar full of stuff. Sometimes it does take as high as 14-16MB, but seriously, if it does what I want (and does it well), who cares?

    Jeez. You guys complain about a few megs of memory. My s***box uses a tad over 13 mb just so I can have a simple but useable desk calendar, and I have only a gig of ddr400. ProcessExplorer uses more on mine (17+).
    It for me is practical and has a small desktop footprint which is what is important. LClock has a nice calendar too, but it can't do what this can nor will it run in sharpenviro.
    You should really suggest a better (I bet u can't) one than use memory as an excuse to bash a perfectly good piece of software. This is the only program I run that has a pro version which is saying a lot for the software itself.

    With this products footprint taking more and more I see "no" reason to upgrade from a earlier version if you can find it. I would like for that version as it was a "great" app for what it does.
    Since I do not run Outlook it is a great app for me!
    If you can balance what you use and what you do not this version my still be a useful program. It's about time all apps start migration to Win7 so lets see still where this goes before condemning it to far down!
    \Does what it is suppose too, works great!

    Still not liking the changes, and the very slow development cycle. I think this app is pretty much irrelevant at this point. Surprised they even bothered with an update, actually.

    Here is there CHANGELOG page:

    This used to be a decent, if a bit buggy, app way back in the day. But man, it's just turned into a bloated unstable mess. I feel bad that the program went in that direction, because it had a great deal of potential, imo.
