5.0 out of 5 stars Love it... But one HUGE problem..., November 22, 2004

Howdy, I just wanted to share one BIG problem I've encountered. The "Business Contact Manager" (comes on a seperate disk) is NOT compatable with ANY version of "Intellisync". So, If you use a Palm device, you will not be able to use the Business Contact Manager and be able to sync your Palm on the same computer. Just wanted to give everyone a fair warning...

1.0 out of 5 stars MICROSOFT - TERRIBLE SUPPORT, February 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Office Small Business Edition 2003 Upgrade [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I made a terrible mistake in purchasing this upgrade. Having spent a total of 14 hours on phone with Microsoft Technical Support they were unable to get my PC to accept the upgrade. Microsoft grudgingly admitted they have a lot of glitches with Office 2003 and they plan to ship a revision on February, 28 2004. Meantime, Microsoft refused to issue a refund or offer any type of amicable solution. My battle with the 6,000 lb gorilla continues.

I'm not a MS fan, but this is a great package for a small business owner who is interested in contact managment and sales as well as document and presentation work.
