Most of the time, I don't particularly care what I did yesterday or last week, since it already happened. I wish for such views at least once a week :-)

The current week and the coming three weeks. Different months are shaded differently, as seen <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/images/sunbird-multiweek-view.png">here</a>. It's definitely my most used view. Sunbird offers a mutliweek view, which is just what Kevin is suggesting. The current week and the coming three weeks.

That being to center the view on today's date. For example, I would imagine the month view showing the previous week and the coming 3 weeks. Once the current week came to an end the whole calendar would shift up by one and you'd be back where you where. Always having 3 weeks of upcoming info on display. In this case you could use some coloring to differentiate between the months. Does this make sense? I think it would make sense to use the traditional views with the addition of a single option.

They do day/week/week-at-glance/month/year, and I like that set of views. The by-week is great, but I tend to stay in the by-day now that I'm more organized.
