Review
Nothing to write home about, Easy Calendar is a relatively simple alternative to Outlook's datebook. The calendar and reminder utilities are presented through a rather dull interface cluttered with buttons. The tray icon only serves to pop up the main window. We did like the Day and Week views, as well as the fact you can spread the description of an event across days on a single line instead of repeating the description for each day. Easy Calendar doesn't have a large footprint on system memory, but 5MB still seems greedy for a program that primarily runs in the background. There's no reason for Outlook users to switch to Easy Calendar, and others are likely to find better alternatives.
