Tom,

You should be able to get all or most of the information that you are 
looking for from the Scheduled presentation.  The key difference is that 
there is no column for Elapsed and Estimated time, and instead these 
show in tooltips for tasks and the date range containers.  To get the 
"Past" and "Previous Week" containers you just need to toggle the "Focus 
on Workweek" button off.  To get custom reports of activity use File -> 
New -> Mylar -> Task Activity Report.  Also note that time tracking is 
much more accurate in 2.0M2 than 2.0M1 because it now correctly accounts 
for events like computer hibernation or VM crashes.

If you (or anyone else) still find yourself missing the Task Activity 
view, please complain here or file a bug report indicating which of your 
use cases are not supported:

Also note that the Task Activity view has not disappeared completely, it 
has instead been moved in the Sandbox and is available from the 
developer builds.  But note we do not encourage installing the Sandbox 
tools because they can clutter the UI.
