Hi,

Reading some old blog, I found that one interesting post from Omar 
Shahine on his Outlook 2007 wish list:
    http://www.shahine.com/omar/OutlookWishList2007.aspx

There's a lot of interesting gems in this. Of course, there are some 
Chandler is better equipped than Outlook to tackle like:
"Lists. I want Lists... lists of tasks to be exact. I want to share 
those lists with my wife. I want to organize my tasks into projects, 
grocery lists, wish lists etc etc. I also want that in OWA so I can get 
to my lists from anywhere."
Or some we are working on like:
"Natural Language parsing for new tasks. I want to enter "Call Mom at 
5pm [@Calls] and have it create a task with a due date and reminder set 
to 5 pm with a category of @Calls."

Still, the rest is very relevant.

The (difficult) trick though is to add all those features *without* 
adding UI clutter or options/confusions.

Cheers,
- Philippe
