This is a pretty facile reply. If you decide you don't like the new
features, falling back is very hard to do. Running two Quicken
versions on the same machine (if at all do-able) is really hard.

 I don't think you can run both versions on one machine. You should know
after a day or 2 if you like the program or not. If you don't, uninstall 08
and reinstall the one you like better.

At some point in time you could run >1 version of Quicken at the same
time. It was as messy as heck and played havoc with starting Quicken
and preventing file conversions and whatnot, but it could be done. I
don't recall if Intuit made it easier or harder in the intervening
years.

Trying that sounds like a recipe for disaster.

I seem to recall installing 08 automatically uninstalled 07, with the only
option being to abort the upgrade before the process began...

The real question is whether Intuit does the QA tests for such an
installation. If they do not, then I would rather not subject my data to
it.
