QuickBooks users need to understand Vistas compatibility with QuickBooks, because not all versions of QuickBooks are compatible with Vista.

Only QuickBooks 2007, and newer versions, are compatible with Vista. Intuit announced on October 16, 2007, that it is investigating third-party workarounds for QuickBooks users who are using older versions of QuickBooks. However, no other details were given.

This means that any version of QuickBooks prior to 2007 will not be compatible with Vista. This has to do with the new Vista security features.

Be Careful About Upgrading to Vista

For those wishing to upgrade to Vista, they will be forced to upgrade to QuickBooks 2007 (or later versions). For those running versions of QuickBooks older than 2007, they should not upgrade to Vista if they dont want to also upgrade to QuickBooks 2007. Users of QuickBooks 2007 have a choice: they may upgrade to Vista, or they may stay with their current operating system, as QuickBooks 2007 is compatible with both.

At some point, QuickBooks users will need to be aware when purchasing any new software for their computers. If a product is for Vista only, this forces the user to make a decision: keep the product, and upgrade to Vista and to QuickBooks 2007 (and possibly upgrade other software products as well), or dont keep the product and dont upgrade.

The Vista operating system is an overhaul of previous Microsoft operating systems. Its a completely new system, and not an upgrade to Windows XP.

Vista Tidbits

• Vista sports a brand new graphical interface
• Vista users must verify if their software is genuine within 30 days of activating it, or else key features will be stopped.
• Vista will have a new email client: Windows Mail. This will replace Outlook Express.
• Vista is more energy efficient than previous Microsoft operating systems
• Vista is more secure than previous Microsoft operating systems
