Default Outlook should let me drag and drop tasks into a specific date.

I would like to be able to drag and drop a task from taskpad onto the
calendar and into a specific date and time slot. Most 3rd party PIM's allow
you to do this.
With Outlook, you can drag and drop, but you have to enter the date and time
manualy.

I believe if you highlight the calendar time slot first (using the Day view)
and then drag the task from the taskpad to the calendar, that the times will
be set correctly.

Yep - Brian's right. That method has worked in the last 3 versions at least.
