SOMEONE at Intuit will recommend NOT automatically upgrading to
windows. ME. That is not an across the board statement. SOME users
may benefit GREATLY by upgrading to windows. Some may Not. The
Windows version is not for everyone. Some people can not get
comfortable with Windows no matter what. There are many other who
simply do not wish to change. They are COMFORTABLE with the DOS
Version. The reality of the situation is that there are physical
limits in terms of QuickBooks operation in the DOS enviornment. That
limits what the program can handle in terms of the amount of
information or file size, speed and features. Windows is much more
flexible in these areas. That's just an engineering reality. The
REAL question is whether you prefer a vehicle that you are COMFORTABLE
in, or whether you want one that does everything that you NEED it to
do? You can only build so many options into a Volkswagen without
over taxing the design and making it unstable. If QuickBooks for DOS
is working for you, there is no real reason to change to windows.
Just accept the fact that the factory CAN'T build a lot of new
options into the product.
I hope this helps just a little.
