I have used express it seems forever and I am now in the process of organising everything (because of iphone purchase) and am wondering if sticking with express/contacts is the best thing to do as far as future proofing is concerned or am I best switching to Outlook.

Hope this makes sense as I seem to spend hours messing around with this type of thing and want avoid it this time if possible.

I read somewhere MS were discontinuing Outlook Express.

Outlook is a much more full-featured client, including a great little calendar / diary application. In terms of future-proof, you can always expect each new version of Office to include Outlook.

You can purchase the latest version, Outlook 2007, separately if you wish for around £77+VAT. It's also included in Microsoft Office 2007 Standard Edition and upwards.
