Outlook should automate ability to view schedule tasks on outlook.

[Robert ATL]

I like to use outlook tasks to plan my day for personal / professional use.
I would like to have the ability to view scheduled tasks on outlooks
calendar. The way I understand it today, outlook doesn't allow this, and
forces a manual, repetative step to drag tasks into outlooks calendar. For
example, I schedule a task for a project, but I also want to block time to
work that task on my outlook calendar. I want to be able to click a button
that says "Block time on Calendar" or Post to Calendar (for specific date and
time). I want to better manage my schedule and work. If I have to read an
article (task), in that task, I want to say I will read that article on
Monday from 10am to 10:30am, and have the ability to see conflicts of
scheduled tasks on calendar just like you can see meeting conflicts.

All of your wishes will not be granted immediately but Outlook 2007 has much
better viewing options for mail, tasks and calendar in a unified window.
