Hey QuickBooks team, or anyone from Intuit really, do we have an update on this? How about the internal investigation INV-74349? It would be great if you could give us some details on how this investigation is progressing. (Or if it's even progressing.)

For anyone who reads this far, you're probably already affected, but if not, DO NOT purchase/upgrade your QB desktop until you confirm this issue will not affect you. The cost in down time is huge and absolutely not worth the product.
