I used a version of Microsoft Project under DOS. I don't think the statement that the first version of Project was "Microsoft Project for Windows v1.0, was started in 1987" is correct.
This must be the most cumbersome and difficult to install and use suite of sofware on the planet. Why can't Microsoft just admit that EPM needs to be rewritten as a proper web-based application rather than consisting of a bunch of clunky add-ons. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Viking67 (talk • contribs) 03:15, December 21, 2006 (UTC)
Wow, marketing-speak-riffic. I tried to beat it into submission. Alan De Smet 02:30, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
Removed complaint about pricing. Added new paragraph on pricing in the United States and United Kingdom. A brief note comparing Project's pricing to similar products would be appropriate and could be neutrally stated, but I lack enough information to say if Project is unusually expensive.

The External Links section was pretty much all spam. microsoftprojectviewer.com and Afinion were just ads for companies offering viewers. MVP Web Site and MVP Web Site were just general resources for users. Neither is terribly useful as a reference site. 23:45, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Remove expand tag
This article should be 1) shorter 2) include criticisms 3) link to rivals. Addhoc 18:17, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Add a link to the Project Roadmap
Consider adding a link to the Microsoft Project Roadmap. It will help users navigate Microsoft Project features from the perspective of standard project management methodology. The roadmap was designed and written by Microsoft Project writers. Link is http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project/HA102143771033.aspx —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trout001 (talk • contribs) 22:35, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ultimately this is just a how to on Project. It's not an especially insightful resource into Project as a reference topic. We don't generally link to "how to use the topic of this article" articles. There is just too man of them. — Alan De Smet | Talk 02:51, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- I would think that such a link is ideal in an article specifically about Microsoft Project. How better to understand the product that view an article that aligns Projects features along starndard project management concepts. I can understand not putting such a link on a general project management or pm software page, but on this page it would work. I read in WP:ELNO that links to avoid include, "sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject: the link should be directly related to the subject of the article." The roadmap relates directly to the subject of this article, and will serve to answers confusion about project. Come to think of it, I should probably update the project version information in this article. There are some inacurcies. Thanks.Trout001 (talk) 02:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
