Just finished our q 3 year upgrade on Quickbooks.
I wish all of the upgrades would be this smooth. All of the file conversions went well, all of the mapping to electronic payments was intact, and our payroll update subscription was validated with no problem.
If QB had been this easy to upgrade in the past, I might have upgraded more often.
Terminal services is working well in the Pro version, even though it is not officially supported.
It appears to pay off if you wait and upgrade QB after all the early adopters slog through the first release or two. Since QB is in R3 already, it looks safe.
The boot time seems longer than ever. Whatever speed improvements have occurred in QB 2006 seem to entirely negated by the incredible file size bloat.
Here are some representative file sizes before and after conversion from QB2003 to QB 2006, all in KB.
