public calendars are often used for group projects and such where a group of
people need to see the full appointment details - its easier than opening
everyone calendar.

For conference rooms and other resources, you can use either a mailbox or
public folders.

So what would "Public" calendars be used for (since each person will
have their own and others can check their free/busy times). And where
do I setup things like conference rooms, etc?
