I'm sorry to hear that you have had problems.  I can assure you that it
works for me.  Th duplicates I had were the contacts that had 'drifted'
on one machine.  For instance, one had a new phone number, another had a
new email address.  I love this feature.  Anyway, to point out that at
least my experiences with Multisync are positive.
