Enter Rainlendar, the cute windows desktop calendar! Tricky names aside, this is simply a fabulous find. It’s small, cute, has a negligible memory footprint, and looks great with its avant garde font.

It’s a breeze to configure. You can place it anywhere on the desktop screen by simply dragging it and it latches into place. Best of all, you can have your To-Do lists and Events show up on the desktop as well. In a cool, semi-transparent manner (and the colors readjust automatically to make sure the text is visible.)

Best feature: It integrates right into my Microsoft Outlook through a MAPI interface — Calendars&Tasks. It even recognized my Archive.pst and pulled the calendar entries from there! No need to have a separate to-do list.
