Microsoft did mention in the past that EAS-syncing Google accounts which were added to Windows 8 before January 30th would retain information such as contacts, emails and calendars, but this seems to be nullified and void now. How will Microsoft offer support for Google Calendar down the road via the stock Calendar app in Windows 8 and Windows RT? We do not have the answer, and will hope to hear from Microsoft soon.
