Syncing contacts doesn't work

I'm able to set up and share OLW calendars and access them using Outlook 2007 on multiple computers using multiple OLW accounts.

I am unable to do the same for OLW contacts.  Sometimes they load as "read only" in Outlook.  After a few more tries, it shows up as writable.  Then when adding contacts to the list, I get errors:

Task 'SharePoint' reported error (0x80004005) : 'An error occurred in this SharePoint List (Contacts - Office Live (Aaron)). Try updating the folder again. If the problem continues, contact the SharePoint site administrator.  HTTP 500.
The server returned the following error message: Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.'

Task 'SharePoint' reported error (0x8000FFFF) : 'An error occurred either in Outlook or SharePoint. Contact the SharePoint site administrator.  HTTP 501.'

 Once this happens, the entire contact list is hosed on OLW.  No current users can access it on the web.  No new users can access the share.

 I've posted on this problem before, only to have my request for support get moved to a "discussion" section.  I don't want to discuss it; I require a fix!  This part of OLW hasn't worked properly for months. (Did it ever?)

Re: Syncing contacts doesn't work

Does anyone have experience with synced/shared Contacts? 

I've posted this problem multiple times but have never gotten a reply.  Doesn't Microsoft care about getting this feature to work? 

At this point I'm thinking I should install my own Sharepoint server and not bother with OLW.  Or maybe use 3rd-party software.
