I do agree with you concerning the older programs, but I have had very good luck with SKTools in removing duplicate files and contacts. They have recently upgraded their utility with a function called shadow cleaning. The program runs in the background, so I no longer even have to schedule the removal of any duplicates.

Doesn't it scare you that the article is dated 2003!? A lot of those problems are still around today. :( As for the dup removing tool, I'm concerned about running a 5 year old application against Outlook 2007. Who knows what has changed between then and now and what damage it might cause. I would prefer if Microsoft could actually solve the problem. Guess I shouldn't hold my breath, eh? @Bryan – Yeah, Chris wrote a pretty good article on how to deal with all the headaches around sync. Doesn’t it scare you that the article is dated 2003!?
