General Comments

Best Software Act! 2005 is, quite possibly, the worst program written. It is slow to load, for starters. It'd appear that it loads all your contacts as it starts. In addition, if you already have an existing SQL Server, there's no way to make it use that for the data source. So, you end up with a normal SQL Server install, and then you're forced to have a MSDE install running at the same time. It also killed email on one person's machine, and doesn't give an option not to integrate with Outlook. The only reason this worthless application is on any systems is because our sales person insisted on it. Of course, sales people often aren't regarded as tech-smart.
