Close KO/Pi - data will be saved automatically.
Now you should have the calendar data in the file mycalendar.ics in your home directory in the path
(YOURHOMEDIR)\kdepim\apps\korganizer\mycalendar.ics
Copy that file to a moveable disk or memory stick or just copy it via network to the destination.
Import that file into KOrganizer/Kontact.
Details about importing your calendar data you can read at: 8) How to import your calendar data into Kontact.
(Warning again: Don't forget to set the timezone in KDE KOrganizer before importing data there. The timezone in KDE KOrganizer is set per default to UTC (GMT), that is -1h of CET).
Now you have your Outlook200X calendar data on the KDE desktop available and you are done with the migration.
Hint:
If you want to use KO/Pi and KA/Pi on your windows desktop, you should read all the help information available in the KO/Pi Help menu. One Highlight of KO/Pi is the easy syncing with another *.ics file.
(Information about syncing available in the KO/Pi help menu).
Another hint:
KO/Pi + KA/Pi ( = KDE-Pim/Pi ) are available for the Sharp Zaurus PDA.
Syncing data works for KO/Pi ( version 1.9.3) but not yet for KA/Pi.

APPENDIX A) Problems and solutions when reading contact data
*************************************************************
All data, which can be displayed and accessed in KAddressbook is imported from Outlook.
In Outlook you can assign an attribute "This is the mailing address" to one of the addresses.
This address shows up in KAddressbook twice.
The first time with the original attribute from Outlook ( e.g. "work" for "business" in OL ).
The second time with the attribute "postal".
All telephone numbers of OL are imported.
OL offers special case telephone numbers, like "Assistant", which have no counterpart in KAdressbook.
In that case, the imported number has special combined attributes in KAddressbook.
Here is the mapping of types in OL to attributes in KA:
OL type Attributes in KA
Assistant Work + Voice
Business Work
