 Easy install and upgrade... it works. January 16, 2007
Merrick (NY)
Upgraded from 2003. Was concerned because of previous reviews but the upgrade went just fine.
Pros: Product running without a hitch on XP, it is possible that one of the hotfixes solved alot of the previous problems.
Cons: Slightly slower startup, Registration had a loopback problem and even after completing it it would ask to register again. It finally took the registration.
 Great option for small businesses January 4, 2007
A. Evegan
This item is much easier to use than Peachtree, and works great for the standard functionality of small businesses. It has everything you need to get the ball moving and keep it moving. Despite other complaints of slow processing with the new database engine, we have experienced no issues. The software and database engine is installed on a single processor server with 1GB of RAM and the clients are installed on P4 3.0GHz with 512MB RAM. Everything runs without a hitch.

Upgraded from QB 2004 pro as we needed to add another user and 2004 is not available any more. Kept getting errors trying to convert the file to new system. When we finally got it installed and in working condition, the system is SLOW. Transactions can take a while to complete, just opening the program takes a few mins as well. This is with just two people connected. If I had the choice we would still be running 2004 as the new database system seems to be sluggish, probably 2-3x as slow as it used to be at times.
No need to upgrade unless you use payroll or merchant svc. April 8, 2006

I upgraded from QB Pro 2002 because I wanted to open a merchant account and be able to accept credit cards (sure hope I don't have to upgrade every year to keep merchant account).
I am running a Windows 2003 Server system and using XP-Pro on the work stations. I followed the upgrade instructions, to the letter, and had no problems what-so-ever. As long as you install QuickBooks on the server first and convert existing QB files before installing QuickBooks on any of the work stations you should have no problem.
I don't really care for the new opening menu but once I get used to it, it shouldn't matter. Every other screen is almost identical to my 2002 version. It does take a little longer to open (and close) QuickBooks, which is not a big problem, but I would recommend only using newer, faster computers.
My 2002 version really did everything I needed, accounting principals don't change. I would not recommend upgrading unless you "really" need one of the new features or need to keep up with payroll or merchant services offered by QB.
 USELESS - constantly crashes and locks up my PC! April 7, 2006

1 Star? It shouldn't get any!!!
I'm an accountant and we had to buy this worthless program because a clients data was in QB 2006. EVERY TIME I open the program a) it takes FOREVER to open, b) it crashes constantly - the program will lock up and then just disappear - SWEET!, c) when you want to log out and go home make sure you have about a half hour to spare. The program will, hang, hang, hang, hang then give you a "not responding" error that will take another half hour to clear.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY on this absolutely useless product. Quickbooks [...]- now it's an it's alltime worst. Once I'm done retrieving the data this program will be uninstalled from my PC. [...]
