I don't see how running a program under XP compatibility could corrupt a QB
data file. The whole purpose of that option is to be able to run older
programs under Xista. I know numerous people that are running 2004 under
this option without any problems.

Can you explain your statement?

When the Intuit clearly states that Versions 2007 and up are the only
versions that are supported in Vista Haskel does not take any chances. It
just does not pay not to upgrade QB to a version certified to work on that
operating system. Even if you can get an older version running there will
always be that doubt that any and all problems encountered are caused by
running the program in Vista.

I sure as hell would never tell any of my clients that its OK to run QB 2004
under Vista. Could there be file corruption, perhaps I don't know for sure
but then I will never know because Haskel practices safe computing and so
should you.

QB 2007 and up are only compatible with Vista, period.

How about this...Microsoft Virtual PC, install XP as a vitual
Operating System, then install your version of QB. I do it on my own
system and run QB Pro Canadian & QB Premier Multi-Currency (Canadian
version) as Canadian versions cannot be installed on a system running
the US version...but it definitely works and you can install QB 2002
on a virtual OS.

Hope this helps
