Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This feature-rich program places an unobtrusive calendar on your desktop. You can quickly access your tasks and see details of upcoming events by double-clicking the day or the sidebar. Active Desktop Calendar supports multiple users, using layers to store their profiles. You can connect to other people's calendars via LAN to see changes in their schedules, and you can have the application display your Outlook information. The utility doesn't consume much memory, especially considering all the cool stuff it does.
We did notice a few shortcomings in this generally excellent program. For example, though the window for adding a new note contains a subject line and a body field, only the subject-line text appears on the calendar and the sidebar. On the bright side, you can switch among several desktop images and set the program as the default screensaver, which will display several world clocks. Overall, the functionality and design of Active Desktop Calendar make it useful for home and business users.

Version: Active Desktop Calendar 5.99
"Basic features missing. Try Rainlendar instead, much better and free."
Pros: Lots of options. Nice appearence at first sight. Not very expensive.
Cons: Basic features missing. In text mode, date days can not be highlighted with a different color, they just appear as bold font (not enough for calling attention). I found a program called Rainlendar (use Google to find it) and it proved to be much better (at least for my purpouses), memory lightweight and free.
