Since I no longer support Basic, I'm not too sure about the actual cost
of the upgrade.  You can call the consumer sales dept. at (800)426-9400
for information on the procedure and cost of the upgrade.

I do know that there are "standard" and a "professional" editions.  I
would assume that the pricing breakdown would be similar to QB and PDS
Basic.  

If you need technical information about the product, you should call
the Basic support group at (206)646-5101.  BTW- I'm sure it will run
just fine (but maybe a little slow :)) on your XT.
