PC Magazine did a round-up review, and picked Microsoft Project for
Windows (NOT the old MS-Project for DOS).  Of course, its certainly
problematic whether or not your softPC won't gag on Windows.

Another good alternative is TimeLine 4.0 from Symantec.  I've
used it in a multi-department large scale project, and it works:
simple, full o' function, and even (gasp) kinda fun.

Of course, if your reporting needs are simple, just draw a Gantt
chart by hand and manage your staff, rather than spending days
ensconced in your office ... OK, OK, just kidding.  I'll shut up now.
