 QuickBooks Pro 2008 is worth it. November 12, 2007

I am upgrading from QuickBooks 2003 so it was certainly worthwhile to me. My accountant said I will gain some very useful tools, especially having all the important information in one place, rather than navigating between various tabbed screens.
Loading a breeze! November 11, 2007

Have not tried all the new features yet but the upgrading took no time and was flawless...

 VERY Disappointing and NO Customer Support November 6, 2007

There are so many things STILL wrong with this program! I had the 2005 version and felt it was time to upgrade, but am very disappointed in the result. I feel like I spent $180 for no improvements. Maybe I should have taken a closer look at Microsoft Office Accounting?
I still can't format reports! The only way to get a report to look the way I want it is to export to Excel (thanks, Microsoft) and then format it there. Example: I create a report called Inventory Stock Status by Item. There is a column called "Order". There is no way, without exporting to Excel, to show ONLY the items that need to be ordered. And wouldn't it be nice if I could choose which columns to chow and what they should look like? Or to set up an amount in the Inventory Item, to show how many should normally be ordered? Not a chance!
So, you open the "Help" window. Not only is there no help there (except to find the link to "Make Suggestions"!), but the Help window moves your main window out of the way and then DOESN'T move it back when you close it. So you get a "little" version of your program left on the screen, after you can't find any help...
Then I went online to get "support". In about 30 minutes after asking for help, I get a call. The phone rings, and no one is there; then it rings again, and no one is there. Finally after the 4th try, I answer and, hooray!, there is a "support technician" that I can barely understand that knows NO MORE than I do. "Sorry, I can't find any answer to that question" and "It doesn't look like the program will do that", oh and the classic, "Perhaps you could make that suggestion and it will be included in a later release"
I suggest that you look elsewhere for an accounting program unless you find all this frustration personally entertaining.
 Wow! Puh-lease November 6, 2007

Wow! Look at all these 5-star reviews from Beta testers! The 2008 product is better than ever! (According to them)
Please. Are we really that gullible? Did Intuit send these people an email on Oct 15 saying they would pay them if they wrote good ratings on Amazon? Did Intuit just send them written copy to use directly? Come on--their reviews all sounds like marketing text.
I have no idea whether the product is good. But other reviews on the internet all explain that this is a relatively minor upgrade--not something with the earth-shaking features all these reviewers seem to be spouting.
I despise deception, and I certainly don't believe all these 5-star reviews from the beta testers. And that alone makes me not want to buy this product.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I just hope people read the 5-star reviews with a grain of salt after reading this one.
