Task Coach 1.0 gets new features and UI [Task Manager]

Task Coach is an open source to-do application that improves calendar systems by adding composite tracking of tasks and events – with date and time for each task, and reminder. You can add a task by simply dragging an e-mail message from Outlook or Thunderbird onto a task viewer. Task Coach also takes detailed descriptions for entries, URLs and more – it is also the capable of assigning to each job a priority and a color. Recently released version 1.0 amongst many other new features tries to render the applications user interface more intuitive – it can be viewed as a list or as a tree.
