I have seen iCal in Mac OS X, and it seems to be a great software to keep the track of tasks assigned and set reminders. Do a similar application exist Windows (offline)?

You can use Microsoft's Outlook for that purpose. As an open source alternative, there is Mozilla's Sunbird.

thanks!.. but i need a offline software. I don't want to open outlook if i need to create a task – romilnagrani Jun 6 '11 at 7:01
@romilnagrani: First, you can use Outlook offline; you don't have to be online. Second, you need to run a program (at least in the background) to be able to use it. So I don't understand why you don't want to open a program while you do want to use it. – Mehper C. Palavuzlar Jun 6 '11 at 7:06
would it be fine if i keep sunbird close but pin into taskbar? – romilnagrani Jun 6 '11 at 7:36
@romilnagrani: I haven't used Sunbird (I've been using Outlook) but as far as I can tell, it needs to be open or at least be run in the background somehow. Maybe you can minimize it to system tray. I'm not sure, though. – Mehper C. Palavuzlar Jun 6 '11 at 7:42

Have you taken a look at VueMinder Calendar? It runs in the background and its main window can be accessed via an icon in the task tray. It also has a very nice semi-transparent desktop calendar that sits on your Windows desktop (and can be hidden if you don't want to see it).

I've found it to be far superior to Outlook, Sunbird, and everything else I've tried. It's a truly elegant piece of software and a joy to use.
