Sure thats fine for you.. But it shouldnt be much of a stretch for your
imagination to realize that plenty of people's tasks are not free form like
yours, but more time specific.. For instance, I might want to remind
somebody to do something before a given event. Or I might want to remind
myself next weekend to watch a given show. Or to polish the car. Or to
change the oil. etc, etc.. These seem too 'small' for calendar issues, and
yet, to put a time focus on them, thats what I have to do.. IN other words,
MS has forced me to take tasks out of the realm of time specific entities
which , despite your use of them, is just what the are for many people, and
elevate them to the status of Appointments.

I don't use it that way and I wouldn't want to. The Calendar is for
appointments and meetings; places where I must _be_ (i.e., dentist
appointment, department meeting). Tasks, on the other hand, are for
things I must _do_. My tasks are usually non-specific in terms of time
(i.e., "Call Mr. Smith", "Write report", or "Change toner cartridge"), but
I do have some time-specific ones.
