Hi Peter,
currently the only difference is that you can include the duration of
appointments into the total effort estimate of a day, that is all.
I think this property will become more special in the future, maybe
using special commands to set the estimate without having to enter
column view. But you are quite right that not much special stuff
happens right now with this property.
HTH.
