Hey out there.
Does anyone know what Microsoft plans to do with BCM? There really have not
been too many updates. I am trying to choose between ACT and BCM. It seems
easier to stay within the MS community.

Who is using BCM and what are your thoughts? Please no rants, just looking
for some feedback.

Thanks.

Robert

They are planning on a version 2 for later this year... i haven't used ACT
but others recently posted here that it was pretty bad.

I have used ACT off and on over the years, and have been heavily using BCM
since it came out. I tried the demo version of ACT 2005 and it was pretty
much of a dog perfomance-wise. Feature-wise it looks great, but the
performance/stability was not very good, at least for me.

I would really need to know more about how you're currently
using/would-want-to-use BCM, what you wish it would do, what you see in ACT
that you like, etc. before I'd feel comfortable offering any advice.

Please post that info and I'll be happy to give you my 0.02 worth...

John
