That's not entirely true anymore. The calendar app in Windows Phone does now include a To-Do section. Interestingly, that ToDo section does sync with To-do List in Hotmail, or Windows Live if you prefer, AND Tasks in Exchange Server. That latter is if you are on a hosted Exchange like Office365 or attached to a real Exchange server like a company one. What isn't happening, and I hope just not yet, is the Outlook Connector isn't moving the Hotmail To-do's into the Outlook client on a desktop. That's a fail, but Tasks/ToDos are there and some syncing occurs.
BTW, if your desktop Outlook is a client to an Exchange server (not Outlook connector to Live) then To-Dos on the phone do indeed sync with Tasks on the Outlook client, or rather they both sync with the server. So 'Business' is covered. It's the kludge of a business focused Outlook client hooked to a web based PIM via Outlook Connector that sucks.
Sorry about hijacking the review and announcement.
