Yes, I agree...Act is back! Jun 27, 2008
I owned the older 6.0 version and loved it. I purchased the 8.0 version and HATED it because of the many flaws. I purchased the 10.0 act a month ago and I really am impressed. I was so worried about the transition but it really wasn't a problem at all. It runs smoothly and does a lot more than my old 6.0 version. I am really happy with the product. Make sure your PC has at least 2Gs of RAM and at least 3Gs of processing speed. It'll run great. Hopefully you won't have to talk to Tech support in India. It was a real waste of my time. I found the answer to my problem on my own.

Not as bad as I feared - in fact, pretty good Jun 26, 2008
I have been a long time act user, going from dos 2.0 to act 6.0 (and now to act 10). I got a new computer, and needed to upgrade as it came with office 2007. I had read the terrible reviews and was terrified of upgrading. I did the upgrade by following all instructions and knowledge base articles to the letter. I was waiting for the computer to explode or the devil to show up in my office, but everythign went exactly as it should.

The program has worked exactly as it should. There are a few things I dont like, but that is probably more due to me being used to doing things one way for the last 5 years.

For the record, this is a one person install of a private database with no network requirements (ie pulling a shared database off of a server.) In addition, the new computer is very high end (4 gigs ram, 2.5 dual core, etc.)

Hope this helps.

ACTRE 10. Prem May 31, 2008
I upgraded from ACT 6. Yes there were problems to overcome and some are ongoing. But not all can be blamed on Sage or ACT. Don't forget MS does not like to play well with others, not to mention my Sony Viao is not recommended by me either as it is the worse computer in our office and I think the worst one I have ever used. I do recommend purchasing the 1 yr warranty highly. The upgrades from ACT 6 are worth it all, and I liked 6 a lot.

PLEASE recommend an alternative to ACT! May 28, 2008
If anyone has a suggestion for an alternative to ACT!, PLEASE tell me. I just upgraded to Version 10 and I am so sorry I did. Rescheduling activities dropped from 35 seconds/activity to 7-10 seconds after working with Tech Support. This is unacceptable. The first person got the time down to the 7-10 seconds, but subsequent support staff could do no better. And not being able to drag & drop multiple activities only adds to my frustration. ACT! had bugs in the past, but I was able to deal with them and they were eventually worked out. From the reaction of each Tech Support person, it seems as if these problems are here to stay ~ at least for awhile. Unfortunately, I can't afford to wait.

If you haven't upgraded, DON'T. If you are looking to buy ACT!, DON'T.

NO Problems Yet! Except my Rebate. May 04, 2008
I heard a lot of bad things about this product and was reluctant to purchase it because of the problems I read about. I took the leap of faith and did a fresh install with know problems. I think it is actually better than 6.0. I still need to utilize it's full potential. I use it to manage a sales territory. So far, so good.
