Free version is powerful. They have a paid version that adds on a presentation layer and the ability to make some * light * gantt charts. No dependencies, etc. No resource pools either.

I have no idea what software Luciano Passuello uses but I guess you could ask him if you still need suggestions. Hi Phillis,

It's open source, written in Java,so it'll work on Windows, Linux or a MAC. If you don't mind paying for it, and want the Microsoft office integration, for Windows/MAC the Mindjet software is also quite good. I don't think OpenMind is around in it's open source form any more. See this wikipedia page for a good comparison: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mind_Mapping_software I’ll recommend freemind.
