I just loaded Outlook 2007 w/Biz Contacts Manager. If I'm adding information
to BCM, why do I need the lesser "Contacts" section? It seems redundant to
have two sections for saving data. What am I missing here? How do most people
use this?

Many people use Outlook for both business and personal email, and put
their friends and family in the Outlook Contacts folder. This is
especially helpful when you share BCM with your co-workers and don't
want to share some personal information with them; only the folders
underneath the BCM node are stored in the shared database.
 
I use Contacts for my personal database, Accounts for my clients, and
Business Contacts for my vendors.
