I would suggest you buy it direct from Nolo. Its still branded Quicken, but at
least Nolo gets a little more revenue out of it...

Louise - Personally I would never trust something as important as a
will to software unless you don't have a lot to leave. This is one of
those times hiring an estate planning attorney is worth the time and
money. The laws are very complicated and are different for every
state. None of these packages take into consideration tax avoidance
etc. And no I'm not a lawyer.

I have been running Q07 thru the paces for about a week. I normally upgrade
for any little feature improvement. Sorry, Q06 just doesn't provide me
anything that Q06 didn't already have. I am going to take advantage of the
60 day return policy. Still happy with last years model.

I'm very happy with it, and I just upgraded my Dad's computer with it.
He's gunshy about change but liked it immediately, especially the
improvements to OSU and the simplified backup to CDR.

Margaret

You didn't specify if your version is for the Mac or the PC. I'm
currently using Quicken for Mac 2004 and would love to upgrade to the
2007 version BUT, and I've been complaining to Intuit/Quicken about
this for several years, the Investing part of Quicken for Mac doesn't
differentiate between "Divdends" and "Qualified Dividends"! They are
treated differently taxwise. As soon as Quicken includes this
capability I'll buy a new version. In many cases the following year
version just adds more "eye-candy" and "bells & whistles".
