What is the difference between Tasks and To Do

Just like all squares are rectangles, all Tasks are To Do items. And
just like all rectangles are *not* squares, not all To Do items are Tasks.

A To Do item has a start time, stop time and a Reminder time. And it is
created from something such as a message, a contact, a calendar event
or any other item in Entourage.

To Do replaces the old "flag message" feature in earlier versions of
Entourage and Outlook. It's like a "flag message" on steroids instead of
just a marker for something to act on later.

A Task is a To Do item that you create from scratch. It too has a start
time, stop time and a Reminder time. Optionally, you can set up
recurring Tasks with more complexity such as "Get your hair cut every
fifth Sunday".

Hope this helps!
