Yes, QuickBooks 2007.
Quickbooks 2007 is the only version that is fully compatible with Vista. None of the prevous versions of Quickbooks will work correctly.
Yes. Don't upgrade to Vista!
If you don't, you'll be stuck using (at best) a six-year old operating system.
Might as well be using Linux.
a) its the devil we know b) we already know our programs work with XP
For any QB support businesses upgrading to Vista means you drop support for clients who can't/won't upgrade yet.
If you make your living suporting QB end users then make sure you have a working XP workstation.
With the ability today to run any workstation connected to the internet remotely the consultant can contiue to sit in their favorate chair while working on another workstation running a legacy application and operating system.
Yes, I have the solution. A few days ago, Microsoft released Virtual PC
2007:
Based on what? I hope you are not basing this on past experience with Microsoft's Virtual Server, if so then I would expect QB to run rather slow. In any event upgrading to a version of QB that is certified to run on Vista is the best choice.
I succeeded in installing tax software that doesn't work with Vista on
Maybe, subject to the his needs. For example, (1) QB2003 might be needed for compatibility with client files, or (2) he might be running on a network and be forced to upgrade all his computers with a 5-user QB version. In addition to the costs of the software, additional costs might be incurred for staff retraining, IT for installation, etc. Also, in a multi-user environment, you must run the database server, which might involve additional work or hassle. I would agree IF we are dealing with a single user system in which the single user is willing to absorb the learning curve. Of course, another possibility is to simply purchase an inexpensive computer running XP and use it primarily for QB, although other uses would undoubtedly materialize.
No I said ping pong balls not King Kongs Balls.
You said . "While I have not specifically tested VPC with QuickBooks, it is likely to work quite well." What draws you to that conclusion?

OK,. I will try it, if that's the only way to convince you :)
And, sorry, I thought you said King Kong, my mistake!
He meant these.
