You have a lot of informative articles here, thanks again! I found a brief primer on Software Testing, do you think it is any good? I'm curious about such introductory articles for someone who is thinking about getting into Testing. <a href="http://www.qalibrary.com" rel="nofollow">Click here if you'd like to check out my site</a>.

If so, thank you for not inflicting me with "the law" during my upgrade experience :-) If you aren't that "Murphy", welcome anyway! On a slightly more serious note - thanks for dropping by and I believe that I can finish your sentence......... So, ready or NOT, here we go!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with Charlie. I've not recommended bleeding edge anything for 20+ years. However, I get the calls after the client's "download, upgrade and go for it" spontaneity kicks in. You almost have to admire them for that. So, ready or not…. I’m Murphy… nice work. I agree with Charlie. I’ve not recommended bleeding edge anything for 20+ years.

The R1 release ALWAYS has some problems. Last year there was a big problem that made many people switch back to the prior product (if they could), for example. I consider the R1 release a broader "field test" release. It is thrown out to the general public, and Intuit works hard to fix the problems that people find. Some of those fixes may already be underway even before they publicly release R1. I always tell my clients that they want to wait until R2 or even R3 before considering a switch. Don't be on the bleeding edge unless there is something in the new release that is worth the risk...

But unfortunately clients/customers don't always "listen" or are urged by others that this is the thing to do - until they find out it isn't! Thanks for the confirmation that immediate upgrades aren't always the best thing to do. Charlie
