IF YOU INTEND TO PRINT VOUCHER CHECKS WITH QUICKEN 2008 DO NOT
PURCHASE/UPGRADE UNTIL A CRITICAL BUG IS CORRECTED BY INTUIT. When printing
voucher checks using Quicken 2008 Windows R2 an extraneous zero is appended
to the numeric check amount, i.e. $123.450 instead of $123.45 is printed.
Intuit confirmed to me that this is a known issue but not yet corrected. I
run XP SP2 so do not know if it is a problem running under Vista as well.

If what you say is true, it's certainly a bug, but why do you think
it's a *critical* one? Certainly $123.45 is more commonly seen than
$123.450, but they both describe exactly the same number of dollars
and cents. Especially since you also have the amount spelled out in
words, it's hard to imagine anyone getting confused by this.
