I installed Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager on a Windows XP machine with a 1.6GHz processor and probably the minimum RAM recommended. The rest of my Windows Office suite is Office 2000. We used Outlook Express before installing this upgrade. I’ve only just begun to work with the contact manager aspect of the software since I’m wary of it. In the past I’ve hated ACT and QuickBooks Customer Manager, so I’m feeling very hesitant to invest time and effort importing data.

The installation process is not straightforward because it doesn’t allow you to pick and choose which components you want to install because it comes with multiple features besides virus scan. There is no direct UNinstall from Windows Vista. The only way to uninstall the program is to download a custom uninstall program from the McAfee website. Unlike Norton, the virus scan kicks off even when you are actively using your computer.

I continue to love this software. I use it to edit photos, to take screen shots, and to create book covers. I feel it has an easier learning curve than Adobe’s Photoshop.

The marketing information makes this software look like it should be fabulous… lots of useful features that I would love to experiment with. However, the software just doesn’t work. I will keep using my very old JASC version of this software instead.

I’ve tried to learn Flash using books several times, with modest success. These videos helped me make more progress. Seeing the steps in action is much more intuitive than reading a description of what steps to take. I only own CS3, not CS5, but these lessons helped me despite differences in the interface.
