MS Project queries

[Sim]

Ok i am doing a course at college which involves project management software.
I have to investigate 4 different project management software and then narrow
it down to 2 and compare these in detail for a presentation. The 2 that i
have narrowed it down too are MS Project and AceProject (www.aceproject.com).
I just need to know the benefits and and limitations of MS Project as i
already have these for AceProject. Also, if there somewhere that lists the
features of MS Project.

Thanks in advance,

Sim

Your best starting point is the MS web site, www.microsoft.com/project.
You'll find all sorts of feature comparisons, marketing materials, and case
studies there.

In my opinion Project is superior to Ace Project because of VBA (Visual
Basic Algorithmics) which lets Project interact with other microsoft
applications seamlessly.

Using VBA you can easily embed project files in an application such as
powerpoint so that the user doesn't even know they are using project.

It also serves as a visual editor (WYSIWYG) for reports of all kinds from
both project files and project databases.
