They are: (i) yes, with more features included, (ii) yes, (iii) that is up to you, but very likely, and (iv) no, especially if you are integrated with Microsoft applications (Office 365). If you have those above questions, I have some answers.

I only tried it out for a couple days when it first came out because I was reviewing it for Lawptimal, and then went right back to using Wunderlist. If you are at all like I was, you totally ignored Microsoft To Do at first. Will the features be the same? Will I be able to keep my old tasks? Can I manage tasks in an efficient manner? Maybe most important, will it cost me money? Now that Microsoft has stepped in, you might wonder how the transition will go. Either way, it feels like a good friend is going away forever. You might have been using the software since its inception, or maybe, even just a few months or weeks. You might be a little bummed, maybe even upset…maybe (at the end of the day it is just task management software). If you use Wunderlist, or follow Lawptimal on Twitter this is not news to you. Wunderlist sent an e-mail to its users notifying them that Wunderlist support will cease forever in favor of Microsoft’s new software, To Do, and urged users to transfer their Wunderlist data by May 6 or risk losing it all. When I heard Microsoft acquired Wunderlist, I asked myself: “Was the best to do platform about to go away?”Įven when Lawptimal covered To Do in the past the question about Wunderlist’s future was always marked with a “?”. It has recurring tasks, subtasks, due dates, reminders, is lean, and best of all, is mostly free. I have been shameless for my love of Wunderlist. How could I not be skeptical? Wunderlist has long been loved by people looking for task management software capable of handling their to-do lists and maybe integrating Getting Things Done (GTD), as I have, and do. Acquiring and basically absorbing Wunderlist into To Do was its way to go. Microsoft’s plan, I have to guess, has always been to integrate a powerful task-management platform into its ecosystem.

A great tactic of businesses with extra cash is sometimes to just acquire a smaller business in the best of its class and make it part of the acquiring business’ ecosystem.
