 I've had no problems with 2007, but then I don't do anything "fancy" with
it. Perhaps there are problems I'm not aware of, but as I said, so far it
appears to be fine.

 Keep in mind that problems/complaints/rants get reported in newsgroups
but good news hardly does. Judging any software on the proportion of bad
vs. good postings is not very useful.

If you've watched this ng, you would see that *EVERY* version of Q *and
TT) has generated postings with "bad" news.

I've been using Q for over 12 years and I've never seen any previous
version get as low a level of complaints as 2007. I've upgraded just
about every year and I have to tell you that this one upgraded the
easiest and fastest of any so far. I have had zero problems and one
minor complaint. Every function I use for banking, downloading
transactions, investments, backups has worked flawlessly. My overall
impression is that it runs noticeably faster that Q06 (my guess, though
is it may run slower that Q04). I would recommend Q07 over Q06 100% of
the time.

You should have a 30 day return policy for the software. Back up your
current version, validate it and try the upgrade. There's a large number
of us here who will help you get through any problems..

Regards,
Hank Arnold
