You're correct and I'll hang on. Did my part by buying Quicken and encouraging others to do the same. I just wish that that P/E was someone reasonable; 405+ seems like a stretch for any company.

QuickBooks 6.0 is out; I got mine Monday. It is somewhat of a disappointment in that it still does not use the phone numbers of customers (it's just dead stored data - you can't fax or even email a statement or invoice, or call an account that you're looking at), you can't sort reports (ascending or descending - they just come out alphabetic or perhaps by account number if you use account numbers), and I've barely reviewed it prior to installing it. There is no e-billing feature although for an extra fee you can direct deposit payroll and pay payroll taxes. The payroll features allow Intuit to do a credit report on anyone who participates, sort of like the marketing stuff banks pull to see what loan proposal they should offer you. But I think that's intrusive, and will slow the success of the service. It should follow "Internet fair play" rules IMO by asking do you or do you not agree to allow this kind of investigation ... and we will use this data solely for xyz and not for any other purpose. IMO QB6.0 is a minor upgrade that most current users can skip. It does less than some of the Releases made under 5.0.
