"the configuration often preferred by information technology professionals"
**More Information on its Way**
Industry watchdogs expect Microsoft to release Vista as currently
announced in January 2007. This new operating system represents a major
revision by Microsoft, and could require decisions from you or your clients.
Upgrading QuickBooks software to the latest release of QuickBooks 2007
is the best way to prepare for Vista in most environments. This is
because QuickBooks 2007 runs on the upcoming Vista Operating System as
well as Windows XP.
**Note:** QuickBooks 2007 enables you to run as a Windows XP or Vista
standard user - the configuration often preferred by information
technology professionals. Other benefits include
* Better tools for managing company files on a network.
* Better integration with Internet Explorer 7 to protect
confidential information and ensure the integrity of business
processes.
* Enhanced encryption for improved security of sensitive customer
data, such as credit card information.
**Backward Compatibility. **Only QuickBooks 2007 will run on the Vista
Operating System, as prior versions of QuickBooks were developed on
pre-Vista technology and **will not run properly on Vista**. We know as
a practical matter that many of you are supporting clients on previous
versions of QuickBooks. For now the bottom line is that a user who
upgrades to Vista 2007 will need to run QuickBooks 2007.
Intuit is currently investigating workaround options provided by third
parties for you or clients who are on QuickBooks 2006 and earlier
versions //and// want to use the Vista operating system. Meanwhile,
however, you may investigate these options with Microsoft directly, at
