Delivery was very great. Rating: - Just as user friendly, but looks way different than 2005We have used Quickbooks for years, but used 2005 Pro, our accountant told us we needed to upgrade to 2008. So we did, it looks so different, but once you get in and begin to use it, it is pretty much the same. Amazon is awesome, always has the cheapest prices!! they can't be beat on hardly anything, especially books and computer software! Rating: - QuickBooks Just Keeps Getting Better and BetterI've been a user and a Beta tester of QuickBooks for many years. QuickBooks has always been perfect for me - a small business owner. I use it for all my accounting needs, including payroll. The only time I need my CPA is for a final year-end review of what I've done in QuickBooks. With each new release of QuickBooks, Intuit adds great new features and usability enhancements, and this one is no exception. As a Beta tester, I was able to compare the 2008 version with the 2007 version. Do the upgrade. It's well worth the cost of the new version! (And conversion was clean and simple.) Rating:  - MAJOR error exist in Quickbooks 2008 compatability with Quicken 2008If you are using Quicken 2008 R2, R3 or R3 and want to convert the data to Quickbooks 2008 you SHOULD NOT BUY Quickbooks 2008 at this time. Intuit has known about a problem that their questionable QA department did not find since early November, as indicated by the following posting of a message in the Quicken Community Forum: "You cannot convert Quicken 2008 data to Quickbooks at this time. Quicken 2008 introduced stronger encryption for data files and Quickbooks is not able to read the new file format. There is an R3 patch for Quickbooks coming soon that should resolve this issue. " The Quickbooks support team informs me that they are aware of the issue but have not idea how long it will take to obtain the encryption API from the Quicken team and put it into the Quickbooks Convert module - although it would seem like something that should be easy it appears that it will take weeks (more - they have already know about this for several weeks) to perform this simple feat! And then QA will have to install Quicken 2008 and actually test to see that this works this time (that is if QA is actually performing the tests they should, which is questionable since if they were this problem would have been found prior to releasing Quicken 2008 R2 or R3 or R4 or Quickbooks 2008 - since it came out after Quicken R2 was released). |
