Q2010 R3 Update?

Yesterday morning, I saw some reporting they'd gotten the R3 update.
I'm still waiting, have done *many* OSUs, and I still haven't been
offered the update. In the past, I've always gotten it after a few
tries, certainly by the next day.

I know this update isn't all that thrilling, but....

How many others are still waiting for the update? Have you gotten it
yet RC?

Thx and Regards,

Margaret

I've been looking for it too, but no luck. From what I read there may
be a Home and Business R3, but nothing for Quicken for Windows. I
have one email from Quicken Support that says Quicken 2010 R3 will be
released in late November.
Regards,
Don

I gather only a few people got the opportunity as the release was made
in error:

s/7556.html

It'll be interesting to see of those who did get it, got the final
R3.

Thanks for pointing to that URL, Tod! I'd also looked for the manual
update, but of course, R3 wasn't there. I was wondering if perhaps the
patch was recalled, as one was some years ago IIRC. :-)

How bizarre! Well, they state "We apologize for any confustion this may
cause, and would like inform you that the patch is not yet available." ; I
assure it they're wrong! It WAS available (maybe 'no longer available' is
more accurate?) ; I'm running it! And yes, it does require one more
keystroke because you either have to allow the overwrite of the existing
backup, or cancel the operation (Again, no choice to have it create a
DIFFERENT backup for the same day like it used to do....)

(I also note that the notice is full of grammatical errors ("confustion"??,
"It has been reported that some customer may have received a notice"...I
must have been that single customer, since that statement sure as hell
doesn't reflect more than one person!). Even that notice sounds rushed
through QA....)
