Shouldn't "Active Tasks" NOT include the completed tasks?

[TheMicrosoftCurse]

Possibly, the programmers at Microsoft are completely retarded, or I have
absolutely no idea what "ACTIVE TASKS" mean.

Within the TO-DO LIST, when I click on View > Current View > Active Tasks, I
see a list of all my tasks, including the completed ones.

What gives?

Do I not comprehend the meaning of "Active?"
Is microsoft incapable of writing software that actually works?
Has Microsoft spent all of it's money on marketing and not on development?
Does this feature actually work propertly for others but not me?

Did you reset the view? Are you looking at the to-do folder or the to-do
list on the to-do bar?

I know who gets my vote... frankly, I'm getting a bit tired of your
offensive attitude and refusal to look things up or try things on your own.
Learning how to use the to-do and how to set up filters is very easy, if one
tries. Maybe you'd be better off using one of the many PIMs that offers all
the basic search options Outlook is missing?
