Nothing ever improves with the performance of the program. In 1999 they told me 256MB data file is huge and I need to upgrade to Enterprise. Really? $2500 versus $250. Just admit this is the same code base from the 80's and that QB Desktop needs a complete rewrite. Your solution? Upgrade to online edition with 1/2 the features and slower reports. QB should be ashamed in this "update" scam. The only thing you get for paying money every 3 years is chrome and lipstick. You can cover the pig with glitter and lipstick, but its still a pig.
