On win9x machines you mostly use it to schedule Disk Scaning and Defragmenting. On Win9x, the Critical Update thing relies on this (or did they change that). Can schedule any program and do cool stuff like come out of sleep to do it, etc.
On Win2K servers, I often use it to stagger services that can conflict on startup.
Every program that runs things on a interval SHOULD use task scheduler to run the program only when the apporpriate time comes instead of staying resident in memory eternally.
Bat rays? We don't need no stinking bat rays!
