Both Google and Apple make decisions in complete vacuums, but at least Apple usually makes good decisions.

I forward and read my work mail in Gmail, and use Google Calendar (which still doesn’t recognize the concept of time zones) to manage my calendar. Now, anytime I get a calendar invitation sent to my work email that I try to accept, I’m greeted with the pleasant error message:

Google has a very helpful (can you read the sarcasm?) page that explains this. Is this a less-than-subtle nudge to force more people into Google Apps? Or just Google going off as usual and making technical decisions with no regards to actual usage or business (e.g., Wave)? Or both?

More important, is anybody aware of any workaround besides deleting all my alternate emails, creating new Google Calendar accounts for them and messing around with two different calendars?
