Decisions ahead on Vista Operating System
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 QuickBooks users 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

You may have heard about the upcoming release of Microsoft's new operating system, Windows Vista. Microsoft has made significant changes to how software runs on Windows Vista.

Barons', Inc. is posting this important service alert because we have clients who may be using a 2006 or earlier version of QuickBooks software.

[b]Since QuickBooks 2006 and earlier versions were developed
and released before the introduction of Windows Vista,
these versions may be adversely affected when used on
a computer running Windows Vista.[/b]


This will impact Simple Start, Basic, Pro, Premier, Payroll and Point of Sale, as well as other QuickBooks products and services. We recognize that your QuickBooks software is an important business tool and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.


WHAT YOU SHOULD DO TO STAY UP AND RUNNING ON QUICKBOOKS


• If you do NOT upgrade to Windows Vista

No action is required. If you plan to stay with your existing Windows operating system (for example, Windows XP or Windows 2000), you can continue to use your current QuickBooks products.


• If you choose to upgrade to Windows Vista

We recommend that you use QuickBooks 2007 (and Point of Sale v6.0, if applicable). QuickBooks 2007 is the only version of the software built to run on the new Windows Vista operating system.

To learn more about your options for running QuickBooks products
on Windows Vista, please visit www.quickbooks.com/support/vista.
You'll find detailed instructions on how to use QuickBooks while
you consider the transition to Windows Vista.
