Is iCloud a basic Exchange service?

I use both Windows 7 and OS X and would like to know if you can set up an iCloud account on Outlook for Windows as a basic Exchange service?

Dammit, can someone move this to the iCloud thread?

The beta control panel allows us to connect Outlook (Win 7) with only minor hiccups/outages; our issues with Outlook tend to coincide with our issues on Lion. We've not tested any other Windows services yet in. Email/calendaring/contacts have been working seamlessly across platforms, outside of the expected outages (for a beta service, that is).

Thanks. I'm anxiously awaiting the release.
