 I bought Quicken 2007, but haven't yet cracked the seal. The bug reports here
are nightmarish. I take it that 2006 doesn't have
these problems? I really would prefer to keep using 2004, but Intuit will be
disabling it shortly.

Perhaps by the time the 2006 version is sunsetted, they'll have fixed the bugs
in 2007?

Intuit should really get sued for this. Unfortunately, the lawyers would clean
up, and all we'd get is a coupon good for $5 off a
new version of Quicken that would promptly destroy our data.

 Brad:

You have to make your own decision, but keep in mind that there are
thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of Q2007 users who are not
experiencing significant problems.

There are annoyances in Q2007, but I find the improvements well worth the
occasional headache.

Plus, if you have two computers, you can always run two versions in parallel
for awhile.

All my personal and business financial transactions dating back to 1989 =
are in Quicken. I upgraded from Q2005 to Q2007 a month or two ago, and =
haven't had a problem of significance yet. My data file is about 25 MB. =
I wouldn't worry too much about upgrading to Q2007, but that's me.

An aside query on this . . . . all this talk of disabling the 2004
version . . . . disabling what features? Older versions still work
well for downloading of routine transactions, some report downloading
of quotes etc. with older versions. What exactly is to be disabled (on
a global scale affecting all users)?

Just recently considering upgrading from a much older version.
