I have EQ6 and I really like it. I don't like that it only came with two installations, but I've only used one so far, and I hope to eventually upgrade to EQ7 where I am glad to hear that the number of installations you get won't be a problem. It is very easy to use and I didn't have to take any classes or anything to figure it out. I really like how it estimates fabric yardage and also that I can print off my own templates and sketches whenever I want. Since I really like to design my own quilts, I use it all the time.
