Hi folks,
I am wanting to subscribe to an outlook.com calendar using Outlook 2010 (not using the outlook connector). Outlook 2010 supports opening and subscribing to Internet Calendars in the iCal format. However, I can't find a way in outlook.com to make the calendar available so that it can be subscribed to.

Anyone have any ideas?

Go to Calendar, click Share and create a link. Use that link in Outlook 2010/2013...

When I click on that 'Get a link' I get presented with 'Read only link' - which isn't much use for sharing a calendar as I might as well just go to the website.

I have tried 'sharing' the calendar and adding myself as the co-owner, but it still says 'read only link'.

I must admit, I have not actually tried to see if the link allows the calendar to be updated from within outlook (I took it at face value that the calendar is read-only, not the actual URI).

I think you can only Share as read-only.

why wouldn't you use the outlook connector?
