"Reminders go to Outlook, Some of the iCloud stuff works on Windows"
Correct but iCloud works via iTunes windows to sync to iOS devices. To
sync to a non-iOS device, you'd have to have a non-iCloud sync through
Outlook. So:
iOS Device <----> iCloud <--> PC iTunes <--> outlook <--> non-apple
Outlook Sync <--> Android/WinPhone
Even then, iCloud syncing through Outlook is not doing anything that
isn't already there in some way (contacts, calendars, reminders, email).
Safe to say iCloud is more than that - photos, docs, app data (there are
iCloud APIs being shown to developers this week at WWDC).
Assuming iCloud works as advertised, the iOS platform would be seamless.
Any integration with other device platforms is going to be incomplete
and haphazard, which I think is an argument Apple is going to want to
make in its favor.

Some of the features are. Reminders go to Outlook, Some of the iCloud
stuff works on Windows.
I'd say "don't know" at this point. Too early.
