My android phone can sync with my cloud-based hotmail/outlook.com contacts and calendar, why can't Thunderbird

Another thread said Hotmail / Outlook.com was locked down which is why Thunderbird could not support Outlook.com contact syncing. My android phone supports this reliably without passing it through gmail (no contacts or calendar on gmail). I would like to use Thunderbird but if it can't sync with one of the largest cloud based PIM's it will not work for a lot of people.

contact are not an issue http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/sync-hotmailoutlookcom-contacts-with.html

Calendar will continue to be a problem until Microsoft makes them available in a format that is standards based.

Google, much a I question their integrity make use of Open standards. Yahoo, even as they stumble from disaster to snafu also use standards. GMX the largest provider in Europe I am told, also uses standards. Even Apple manage to use standards. Only Microsoft stands out there using proprietary protocols that must be licensed from them. It is however a good way to ensure vendor lock in. They have no iTunes to keep the customers loyal and spending money
