Just after i wrote that reply, i had occasion to go to the Microsoft site again. Right now there's a banner on the home page pointing to a download of a 90 day trial of Microsoft Dynamics GP. It has nothing to way about what Microsoft Dynamics GP is or does. simply that you can download it. So I click on that banner and go to a page that tells me how to download it, how to install it, what the file size it or how i can order a DVD of it.
BUT WHAT THE HELL IS IT?? Doesnt say. All it says about what Microsoft Dynamics GP is is this: "Try Microsoft Dynamics GP and learn how this complete and scalable business management solution can help your growing or mid-sized organization get up and running quickly and maximize the productivity of your people" BUT WHAT THE HELL IS IT???? That 'motherhood' statement is roughly a cut and paste from every product since DOS. There's a link to Microsot Dynamics GP Overview, hidden off to the right, and you have to make another click (now a total of 3 clicks from the home page) to start to see what it might do. And even there, the product's real purpose is buried in a snowstorm of marketing-speak that is almost as impenetrable as Swahili. There's my point I dont know if Microsoft has as one of its goals for its site, "to inform". But it does an abysmal job of that. As to what exactly Microsoft Dynamics GP is and does, the only choice is to download it, install it, configure it, experiement with it, and only then you can find out if it is anything you might want to use. You have to work hard to find out even the most basic information. I guess no one's asked the question, " why would anyone go to all that trouble to install it and try it if they dont even know if they might use it?"
