We have paid for online sync between our macs and our iphones. Contacts & calendars. Now, if you have a Windows (Vista and Windows 7!!!!) you can sync, but only if you have the LAST version of Macs, can sync.

Why not a panel like this for Leopard?
I think Apple is making a big mistake here. Some of us have computers that are old but sufficient. Most of us have an old-but-brilliant desktop computer in our house, storing our pictures and back ups, and we love it. Now Apple has decided to steal a functionality to these computers. The functionality to keep calendars and contact synchronized. A very easy functionality to keep! And most of us have already bought a Lion license and paid for iCloud.
The MobileMe users were excited at the beginning. Then we continued using it and thinking it is not worthy but is easy and works. Now we think we are being framed.
Today is iCloud, but today I think maybe is not a good idea to rely on Apple services for future.
