Do you recommend Access or Outlook for managing up to 5,000 contacts?

Starting a small business and must choose a method for organizing my
contacts. Will contact mostly by phone to start.

I'm running on Vista using Windows Mail right now.

Thank you. Infact, after hours of research, I found Business Contact Manager
and am now upgrading from Office 2007 Home to Ultimate. Access seems way too
powerful for my needs (and possibly complicated). What I like about Business
Contact Manager is that it links to Groove, Money, and has a contact system
that is similar to Goldmine and other pro products. All at a reasonable
upgrade price.

Nonetheless, I'm happy to find confirmation of my findings.
