Summary: Horrible Customer Support
Comment: Very, very frustrating registration process. After purchasing the product, I was required to phone (no email, no automatic registration as is common with other software products) Intuit customer support. I was then asked for my phone number -- we have over 15 phone lines in my company, four regional offices, etc. -- but I was told I HAD to give the correct phone number or I would not receive my "Validation Code". I already had the License Number and Product Code emailed to me after my purchase, but now Intuit required a third code -- and they needed my phone number to issue the code. Completely a 1998-era, poor customer service experience for their 2008 product. My recommendation is strongly to BUY SOME OTHER PRODUCT!

Summary: Wow! Lots of problems with Vista.
Comment: I am a ten year user of QB Pro. Had to get a new version because I bought a new pc with Vista. Had choice of downloading QB Pro from Intuit or buying from Amazon, who I love, and getting a real CD. I like to own the CD in case of reload, etc., so I got it from Amazon. Fast shipping and great price!

I had TONS of problems with program crashing on new install, even with the new QB Pro CD, the new PC and with all Vista updates and with all QB updates downloaded for the new QB Pro.

It turns out that the brand new CD with the updates downloaded does not run on Vista and support eventually had me download the whole program from Intuit and re-install it to get an actual Vista compliant version.

Now it runs fine, but only after several days of problems and only intermittent communication from Intuit's support.

So, if you buy the program new on CD you may still need to download it from Intuit to get a Vista compliant running product. Maybe this knowledge will save you several days of problems and checking and rechecking your own work to find if you did something wrong yourself.

Otherwise seems to be a great product once it runs.

Summary: Buyer Beware
Comment: I've used Quickbooks for approximately 10 years, and am very familiar with its capabilities and limitations. Unfortunately, Intuit markets this product as Vista compatible. It is not. And although the product does operate, there are significant issues.

Summary: Great Accounting Product
Comment: Great product. Has a little learning curve for non-accountants like myself but overall a decent accounting package.

One should get a general overview of accounts before tackling setting up a company books or get professional assistance.

Summary: Upgrade from QB Pro 2005
Comment: Upgrade was seamless (unlike my Vista experience). Thanks Intuit.
I had one bug using Word 2007 which was fixed with an "update." I am an electrical contractor. This program makes running my business simple, not just for me, for my accountant as well. The new version is very similar to the old one, just easier to navigate and more intuitive. I highly recommend this program.

Useful: Accounting Software

Accounting software provides four primary benefits:
  1. Saves you time - You won't have to spend hours organizing receipts, pulling out files, or double checking your math because the program does everything for you. Saves you money - You don't need to hire someone to manage your books or print your checks because those things will be handled by the program. Minimizes your paperwork - You won't have mounds of paper on your desk waiting to be organized or filed because almost all records are stored right on your computer.
  2. Helps at tax time - Having everything saved at your fingertips will make doing your business's taxes even easier, plus some programs allow these records to be imported directly into your tax preparation software.
