I've been using Q since1994, back then I upgraded because I wanted to not
because I was forced to upgrade. IMO Q2001 was the best version. I just
upgraded from Q2005 to Q2008 due to the service discontinuation as you
mentioned and I was not impressed at all. It seems Q2005 going forward is
all bloatware and it's been all downhill for Intuit since that C-Dilla/Turbo
Tax debatable. I dumped Turbo Tax for TaxCut then and more than likely this
is the last time they will force us to upgrade. Next time it will be MS
MONEY if not sooner because Q2008 sucks. I may just shit-can Q2008 within a
couple weeks and just go with MS Money and be done with it
