When I had to make a decision Daylite was still ironing out the rough spots so I went with Entourage. The project center has been wonderful for me. I have my list of open projects. I archive the closed ones and they are a click away. When I open up the separate projects i have the next action listed on that project. All of the appointments for that project are there and when I click to contacts all of the contacts are there.
I catagorized the tasks using standard GTD @home @office @ phone etc. I can see the complete list of all to do's by catagory. There is a great note section in each project and I can link all of the computer documents that are related to the project to the specific project. All in all its simple easy and very GTD friendly.

HOW does Entourage sync to the Palm? This is news to me. Do you just use HotSync or is iSync involved? Thanks so much for your info!

The extra fields on Outlook tasks DO NOT transfer to Entourage, so you would lose any linking of tasks and projects.
davegerlits said:The least expensive but nearly as sketchy way would be to try and figure out my own system myself in Entourage, then see what tranfers to my Outlook.
Only those fields directly supported by Palm will transfer, and even then there are aberrations. For example, Entourage will not sync Datebook item categories, because categories were not supported by the original Palm datebook app (although the category field was actually present).

I recommend it. You won't get any super-duper software trick, but you will probably learn a lot about the GTD process.
