2008 Delux - Worth the upgrade? AlanW 12-21-2007

 I first tried Q08 H/B via the 60 day trial. When I set up the PP download,
I ended up getting a whole bunch of duplicated transactions when a payment
was first sent, then cleared. Not sure if that has been fixed, but when I
set it up with the non-trial version w/ SP5 yesterday, the download worked
properly. I hazard to say that, like you said, it was more of a PP issue
than a Q08 bug. I didn't have any issue with the currency, all worked
properly as USD on US dollar purchases.

First off, never, ever assume that Intuit is giving you the best deal.
More often than not, it is more expensive than getting it from a brick &
mortar shop or an on-line vendor. Shop around. If you buy Turbo Tax

Having said that, I go 2008 and upgraded from 2007. To be honest, theres
not a lot to motivate upgrading. There's a couple of "That's nice.", but
no "Cool!"....
