I made The Switch on my home computer about 6 months ago and haven't looked back. Sadly, though, I'm tied to a PC for 8-10 hours a day at work. So, I've been struggling with living in a two OS world. What tricks, tips and applications do people use to manage your information on both PCs and Macs. In particular:

1. Calendar: Why, oh why, doesn't .Mac provide a way to write to a calendar from the web. Right now when I'm at work and need to update my personal calendar, I add an event to Google Calendar and then subscribe to that calendar from iCal. OK, but not great. Any other good ways to do this?

2. Tasks: Seems to be no way that I've found to update iCal to-do lists from my office PC. Right now I just email myself and add the to-do item when I get home. Lame.

3. Web-Based Desktop sharing: anyone know of a way I could solve all my problems by using a web-based program where I could view my home Mac desktop from work?

I could surrender and use all web-based apps for mail, calendar, tasks, etc, but I do really like the OSX suite of desktop apps. Just need to find a way to keep everything in sync...

Any help is much appreciated.
