Outlook Tasks

Does anyone really assign and track tasks using Outlook's task list? It strikes me as a potentially powerful managment tool, but when I assign tasks...
1. updates only come via email. The assigned task itself is never updated.
2. the updates that come via email are too vague to be useful. For example, an updated task only produces an email with the subject line "Updated Task: task name". There is no verbiage in the body or any other indication of what the update is.

Am I missing something or doing something wrong? I would think this would be a better communication tool.
 
I received an answer to this offline that I thought I would share. Updates to assigned tasks are sent to you via email. You evidently have to open the update and close it again for the task in your task list to be updated.
