No experience with it. Since my computer got fried last weekend and my favorite program Money 99 has compatibility issues with Vista (hummmm, wonder why that is) I am trying AceMoney Lite. For my budgeting I wanted something simple, quick and easy to use. So far so good + it's free.

Thanks for the update, it's good to get a reliable report. I wish I would have bought the pre-order but I still don't have my second machine running. My main computer I need for work (just in case they would call with some work) so I can't take a chance with a new OS on marginal hardware. I'm getting the feeling I would like Win7.

I got Win7/64 installed yesterday and it's running beautifully. I'm going to give it a few weeks, then install it on my folks' business machine. The bigger icons and improved interface functionality should really help them out.

I've decided to try Wesabe, too. Online applications have the advantage of continual improvement and security, and the surrounding community should offer good assistance and advice toward meeting our financial goals. I'll report back after the setup this afternoon.
