The simple act of running Windows XP in non-administrator mode breaks every piece of Malware written for Windows to date but it also breaks applications that don't follow XP programming guidelines like QuickBooks. Windows Vista simply enforces these best practices by default. Vista has a compatibility mechanism for legacy applications called shimming where legacy applications are fooled in to thinking they're running on Windows XP with full administrative privileges even though they are running on a locked down Vista machine.

But that technique has its limits when something like QuickBooks has interaction with hundreds of add-on applications and they all need to violate the system registry in a coordinated way. QuickBooks and the add-ons will actually run on Windows Vista and they can be tricked in to running in their own sandboxes, the problem is that those sandboxes are isolated universes that can't interact with each other.

While it may theoretically be possible to make this happen, it's a hair ball of bad coding practices that Intuit doesn't want to touch and they're telling all their customers to upgrade to QuickBooks So the moral of the story is that this is a train wreck 6 years in the making and it can't be blamed on Microsoft for finally enforcing the best practice guidelines they've asked software vendors to follow since I've changed the way I charge my iPhone.

You should, too. Time for a Linux smartphone? Developers are in short supply. Here are the skills and programming languages employers need. It definitely feels like if Intuit QB wanted to create caos and make you purchase a service package. Imagine how much money they could make with a worldwide issue like this. Somebody at QB will definitely get a bonus check. Anyway, I hope also Windows posts a solution to this problem. If anyone finds one, please email me.
