Microsoft Office Outlook with Business Contact Manager now a stand-alone offering

by Simon Kerbel Feb 6th 2008

Continuing their unmatched success in offering products with gargantuan, hard-to-remember names, Microsoft today announced that they will sell Microsoft Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager as a stand-alone offering. This is good news for people who want Outlook but don't need Microsoft's other office solutions.

Microsoft Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager combines all the functionality of Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 with the extended benefits of a contact management application. This combined application also shares the same customer database as Office Accounting 2008, so that changes to customer information in one application are automatically reflected in the other.

If any of you survived that last paragraph, we offer you a picture to help your understanding: think of the various, multi-colored spacecraft coming together to form the behemoth Voltron. Now you've got the right idea.

Microsoft Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager will be offered at a stand-alone price of $149.95.

It includes Business Contact Manager too, dumbass. It is a serious piece of software. This software is not for home users.

BCM is a serious piece of software that is becoming very popular with the SMB market, a lot less expensive then the alternatives. We developed an integration betrween BCM and SharePOint for scanning, email archive etc. Check it out at http://www.linmar.com/SharePointDM.html

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
