Hi Joost,
Yes -- this feature is still in development, and we're planning to release it in Q4 of this year.
The final remaining pieces are for the Outlook on Windows client to show the Tracking tab to meeting attendees (currently it's only shown to meeting organizers), and to properly track responses sent from the Outlook on Windows clients.
More details
There are 2 attendee response properties: (1) the RecipientsList table that has each recipient and their individual response, and (2) the property used in MailTips to say "You accepted this meeting on September 21st."
When we enabled the Tracking tab for attendees in the Outlook on Windows client, we discovered that Outlook on Windows was setting only property #2. We're working on how to detect changes in property #2, and when we detect that change, we will update property #1 (so your own response shows correctly when you view the invitation) and then updating attendees' copies (so your response is shown correctly to others). Right now, we have it working for one-off meetings but we are fixing some issues with the way responses are detected for series vs. instances of a series.

Do you use the Click-to-Run version of Outlook? From the article above I understand that this feature is not available in Outlook MSI.
