iCal Additional Functionality - Any third party app?

Hi, I am a Productivity Consultant. I come from working on the PC environment, mainly in Outlook. As I have set-up my work environment in the Mac, I like iCal, yet I miss some funtionality, and I was wondering if perhaps there are third party applications that might add these functionality that I am looking for on top of iCal.

What else would I like to have in the iCal Interface?
(1) Some sort of way to add category support. Even though I use the calendars for this, I would appreciate to have a category field to double categorize some To Dos (I use the calendar to assign the context where the task will take place - i.e. 'Errands' and the Category Field would be use to groups Tasks by Objectives | Projects - i.e. everything that has to do with Project X).
(2) Additional views that will allow me to perhaps group tasks by category, displays tasks for a certain period of time, etc.

Any guidance is more than welcome. Thanks SO much. Martin.

Give Entourage a look (which is about the closest thing to Outlook)

There's a program called CRM4Mac which integrates AB, Mail and iCal but it's not quite Outlook to someone who used its features.
