Summary: Ok for education, Better for business
Comment: I've been using MindManager for more than 5 years to organize projects, information and lessons. In the business world it handled pretty much everything I ever threw at it. In the world of education it lacks an important feature: the ability to enter equations (superscripts and subscripts). Teaching nearly any body of science requires scientific notation or exponents.
I've been passionate about this product for a long time. Go download it and see what it can do for you!

Summary: must have
Comment: i had recently shifted my career from Project to Product management and innovation. I was exposed to this package earlier in 2004 during a project. It's a way of life. Some people especially hard core techies don't like it when I use this tool all the time. I have used this package IN PLANNING, thinking about life, new baby needs, weddings...u name it. I really don't use MS Word anymore. I draft everything in mind manger and then send it to any application.
This tool is far better than taking minutes of meeting on a stale word document. This really gets people moving and talking real value added content instead of just blab.

Summary: Mind Manager 7 - Save Your Views and Filters
Comment: Mind Manager 7 has probably received most comments for its introduction of the Microsoft Ribbon. Whilst a great feature the more significant and valuable new features centre around how you can work with topics and filters. New editing features give new ways of selecting and editing topics and it's now possible to break a topic into several sub-topics. More powerful yet is the ability to save filtered views as queries for recall later. Working with a given map over time, creating updates or identifying new task or priorites, just became easier and more powerful.

Summary: A fantastic tool for the knowledge worker.
Comment: MindManager is one of the most useful software tools that I have. I use it constantly. It is very intuitive to use. It has a property that I really love about some software; if I'm not sure how to do a certain thing, I do what seems like it should work and most of the time it does. It's very friendly and obvious despite its sophistication. It's the kind of software that you can open up and just get to work with easily, but it also has a lot of depth and functionality to explore. I've been using MindManager for about seven years, including the various flavors of Microsoft Office integration and I have always been pleased with every new version of the software. You can output maps to many formats for sharing, collaborate on mind maps, and there's a really beautiful presentation mode that animates map navigation in an intelligent way for reviewing the information with others. The new version 7 has many improvements and enhancements over version 6, which I also loved. The implementation of the Microsoft Office styled ribbon tool bar is really well done, and the enhancements to mind map navigation and viewing are very helpful. I can very highly recommend this tool to anyone that needs to organize their thinking and planning.
