Quickbooks since version 1 has been very friendly and easy to use. each upgrade seem to take up more room and more computing power. Thank to the low cost of computer now days. that shoul not be a problem if you are on a hardware upgrade schedule. The latest upgrade of Quickbooks has manage to squeeze in more robust features that a real accounting software had traditionally. However, this is at an expense of additional hardware requirement. The 2006 version has more "real" database like features. It will require a dedicated window server or a dedicated PC to be the server. The new version uses a "relational database" like SQL. This means there is an extra key component(Database manager) which requires the extra resources. In short be expect to spend some extra money on a dedlicated PC/server to host your software..... bottom line extra $$ and space to put up with the server. Thank god that you can pick up an extra stripped down desktop PC for less than $500, less than the cost of the software. I.T people may not like this but it is the cheapest way to get it done. I have failed to install 2006 without installing it on a new server. I will have to wait for I.T. department's time, energy, and money to be able to install QB on a real server. Estimated cost of hardware and operating system is about an extra $3000. Ouch! Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
