Hi all - I just downloaded and upgraded from Q2006 to Q2007 Premier. THe feature that sold me on this new version was the Express WebConnect. It has been a time consuming annoyance (but one that I had become used to) to have to login in to each of my bank websites from the IE browser inside Quicken.
With Express WebConnect, once you have set it up, you get the "feel" of Direct Connect, where the login and downloading occurs without the need to use an actual browser. With most of my banks I used the same username/passwd as I would use if I was logging into the bank website. One bank required that I use a 4-digit PIN instead.
The only difference really between Express WebConnect and Direct Connect as far as I can see is the one-way vs. two-way communication. No Check Writing/Bill Payments features are available through Express WebConnect or WebConnect. You still have to login to your bank website to use their BillPay system.
If anyone has any questions about Q2007, let me know and I'll do my best to answer.
