I use Outlook both at home for school and at work. What I think is really
missing is a way to have tasks automatically added as a calendar date is
approaching. I’m thinking of things like Valentine ’s Day. I need to order
flowers, make reservations, etc. It would be nice to be able to set up a
reminder, and have it install the tasks I need to perform x number of days
before the event so that I can remember to do them. Ideally I would be able
to set two things, how many days before the event the task appears, and how
many days I have to complete it. As it stands currently, I set additional
reminders to add tasks before the date actually occurs.

That WOULD be a nice feature. Here's what I do: Create a calendar item and
then drag the item to Tasks. It's not as complex as what you want, but for
me it works.
