This one's as basic as it gets: Wunderlist lets users "star" high-priority items on a list. There is no indication that this feature will be added.

Under the new program, tasks can't be moved and organized in separate folders, nor can subtasks be added to them.

Collaboration, which Newman called "the biggest omission." Tasks cannot be shared with other users, nor can they add comments and suggestions on proposed projects.

PCWorld's Jared Newman posed the question: "Has Microsoft really thought through its plan to retire this beloved task management app?" He went on to call it an "inscrutable decision," and noted the preview Microsoft To Do lacked eight features that contribute to Wunderlist's power. This could end badly, and I am not alone in that thinking. Wunderlist certainly wasn't broken, yet Microsoft not only wants to fix it, but replace it entirely.

While the name and icon may change, the team that brought you Wunderlist continues on. He also had another bit of news: "Once we are confident that we have incorporated the best of Wunderlist into To-Do, we will retire Wunderlist. In a Microsoft blog this month, Ori Artman, general manager of Microsoft To Do, called the program "an intelligent algorithm, it is the first step on our journey to simplify task management and help you achieve more." Microsoft announced the program will become Microsoft To Do, which is now available in preview (meaning it's a work in progress and still may be a bit buggy).

At the time, it lacked a few features, which were duly noted - like the ability to schedule repeating events - and which became added features. It was Wunderlist, developed by a German company. It was able to synchronize a user's list on one device with all the other devices he or she was using. It could run on just about any computer device out there - Windows, Mac, Android, Lunix, iPad and iPhone. A little more than five years ago, I wrote about an easy-to-use, to-do-list program.
