I totally agree with his point of view. I found your website because I was desperately looking for a piece of software that helps me in "putting tasks in the calendar". It is not a problem of "views" (as Microsoft thinks). It's a completely different approach. The only thing (I mean "THING") that goes in that direction is MSProject but it is like using a bulldozer to go shopping. We need a stuff where you can write the main task (the final one usually) and then it asks you to draw the "chain of event" to get there and the time required for each step. Third: it goes to the calendar and "automatically" book some space in the agenda for these steps to be done. Simple, isnt'it? But....where is it???? I found Womack article perfect.
