I've tried Open Workbench, and it is a far cry from MS Project, which
is probably one of the better pieces of software to come out of
Redmond.  Workbench is usable but it lacks a lot of the sophisticated
features and the interface is painful.

Planner looks and feels a lot like MS Project.  I've used it for small
projects where I just needed to sketch out a simple plan, creating
dependencies and using availability to create a rough timeline.  But I
haven't tried it for anything big and I don't know if it supports
managing a multi-project portfolio.

Good luck,

Matt

My top-level question about Sept. 11 is, do we really want to live 
in a world in which U.S. intelligence can detect every 
half-million-dollar, 20-person, two-year activity?
