I'm afraid your subject says it all! It's pretty primitive, but believe it or not, better than what we had before. The PIM side of Entourage is still in its infancy, I think. Frankly, I've been using my Handspring Visor to manage my tasks (Datebk4) with much more aplomb than Entourage permits. Under OS 9, I used hot sync to let Entourage be my backup to the handheld. It was useful to be able to generate tasks from E-mail messages, include contact info, and so on, but as far as actually using the task list in Entourage--it isn't up to it, IMO.
