I use Tasks quite extensively, so I voted "Important".

- Inability to add more than one upcoming calendar appointment on the Home screen. Drove me nuts not being able to see a quick glance of (most of) day from the home screen.
- Address book entries don't appear in the dialer as you dial--in other words, if you start to dial (702) 895.....and a contact entry with that number is already exist in the phone, it doesn't appear. You must now type the entire number to dial it. Even BASIC phones today have the feature that allow you to simply select an address book entry that's already in the phone after typing in the first 2+ numbers.
- No tethering support
- Hidden signal meter
- No unified Inbox

Wow, WP7 sounds worse than I thought. I don't care much about a unified Inbox (I like seeing where E-mail was sent to) and I rarely look at the signal strength meter, but those others are HUGE steps backward from Windows Mobile.
In fact, the "dial-by-name/number" feature was one that I used to brag about in Windows Mobile. Maybe WP7 wasn't intended for use on telephones. 
And let's not forget the ability to sync with Outlook without needing an Exchange server.

P.S. Jason, the language pedant in me has to point out that it's "could not care less". If you "could care less", it means that it's more important than something.
