I do have to disagree about the reminders being set on as a default. I would hate to have my phone beeping every hour or half hour telling me about an appt. But I do think you should have a preferences option to set this if you want it

Agreed. That's what I should of said. I just want the option...

reminders for to dos?

What would be really nice, in a basic, "why doesn't it do that?" kind of way, would be if you could set reminders on to do items. I set a to do item with a deadline in a copule of weeks time, then forget about it. Often. I probably should be able to remember, but isn't the point of software like this to help those of us who can't? How much imagination does it take to think reminders for to dos would be a good idea? "Think different"? Only in the sense of ignoring the bloody obvious

reminders

along with all of the other quirks mentioned above by other posters (highest on the list being that you can't QUICKLY click on a day/cell and get the information that you want/edit that information [click on it>command i?=crap]); i don't know what other people's experience has been but i have not been able to get the e-mail reminder to work in iCal and this is a deal breaker to me...i'd also like to see a better "to do" list.
someone mentioned that these are "mundane apps" and i have to say that i disagree. a usable calendar app that allows you to schedule appointments, publish them so others can see them, gives you reminders, that syncs with mobile devices seems pretty important (if it actually worked that is!).

reminders, yes

Apple has instituted a "snooze" function on its iCal alerts much like the function in Entourage.

Oh happy day!

I am running 7B44 and I have all three of the updated applications. All that I have noticed is that they run much faster and smoother and they fix a couple of bugs. Before my Preview couldn't view anything properly but now it works fine.
