	The two packages do more-or-less the same thing: they waste project time by becoming used as a tool for beating-up the project team when key dates are not met. The worst thing that both of them have is a "print" button. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	There is no comparison! Primavera is a very good project planning tool, it is extremely powerful and its correct use can save a fortune over the life of a project - resource levelling etc etc MS Project is - well it is MS project. OK if you want to let your boss or the client know the start and end date of a project with a few activities and links etc. Just compare the difference in price! Horses for courses, if you want to schedule the overhaul of a pump then MS is fine, if you want to build a refinery then use Primavera or similar.
