Benefits of QB 2009?

I am using QB Pro 2006 and am wondering if there is any real advantage
to upgrading to Pro 2009. 2009 is on sale for $99.99, which is
tempting, but I don't see any real benefit to me. I use QB for
invoicing, emailing invoices, receiving payments, and payroll. Am I
missing something by not upgrading at this time? Thanks for your
opinions.

Yes Intuit will soon sunset version 2006 and you will not be able to renew
your tax table subscription in the future.

I agree--in the spring you will not be able to do payroll anymore so
you might as well upgrade now while it is on sale.

Plus, you can now sort the bank rec, email invoices via Outlook,
account prefill, customize the centers part of the icon bar, it asks
if you're sure you want to close when you hit the big red X (a little
thing, but I love it) and more.

I just paid for the tax table update last month. Are they going to
stop it mid-year?

I also notice that when buying QB Pro 2009 for $99.99 they also give
free QB Credit Card Processing, Basic Payroll, and Learning QB. I do
payroll with QB 2006 now. Why would anyone buying QB Pro need a
separate Basic Payroll. Or does QB 2009 not have a payroll feature?
