Hopefully, they'll clean this up. Right now, it's not ready for prime time. I am a power user with 5 years of data.I work the heck out of this program. I had to reinstall once because it mangled my data. It crashed at least half a dozen times during initial setup. Now that I've got it working, it's lost my online payee info. I don't see anything here I couldn't live without (they didn't make it any easier to update mortgage payments). I'm sorry I broke my own rule -- don't install "beta" software. Wait six months!

I had to install 4 times. Once it wouldnt pay my bills. Once it showed my 401k balance $0, Once it lost online payee info.

Tech Support spent an half hour helping me get it to where I could send a payment. Next time I tried to send a payment it wouldn't work again.

I have uninstalled Q2007 and reinstalled Q2006 and have no problems whatsoever since.

Don't bother - Keep using 2006 - not worth the money for the upgrade.

The earlier reviews on this product scared the beejeepers out of me. I had to upgrade because Intuit was stopping support on the Quicken 2005 I was using. I would no longer be able to download stock prices, transactions from credit card companies, etc. It's their way of extorting more money out their users. They only provide 3 years of download support. Then you either upgrade or enter all the data manually.
Overall, the product has not been too bad. So far, I have not found one single feature I would have paid for that makes Quicken 2007 better that the 2005 version. The graphics a little better though - but that is inconsequential.
The upgrade was easy, it's stable, and the operation is very similar to 2005. It appears as if all the reviewers were Beta users.
While I'm still very peeved at Intuit for forcing the upgrade, the product is not that bad. I wish I had a good alternative, but hate to walk away from 10 years of data in Quicken.

I reported a problem on my first review on my order and now I would like to add to my negative review of the company, Tech for Less. I reported that while the program was fine, the box it came in was squashed and led me to wonder if this was a used program. I paid for a a new one. Amazon sent the review to Tech for Less and within 1 business day Tech for Less sent me an email apologizing for the condition of the box and refunded my payment. I applaud the handling of this and would recommend them.
