QuickBooks 2008 November 22, 2008
Ordered this CD on line with no hassle. Very easy. CD came within a few days and have been using it for the past month with no problems.
Seller was very quick to get it out to me and it got here in good shape.

Never again Intuit November 22, 2008
It's getting harder and harder to find product reviews on Amazon. I had to scroll down almost 3 pages of Intuit plugging and product description just to find the first review. Apparently, Amazon seems to be forgetting a little bit just what made it so popular.

In any event, I'll keep it short. I ordered Quickbooks Pro 2008 and installed it. And, at the end of the install process, what do you think pops up? A window asking me to call Intuit. Yes, I could NOT USE the software that I PAID FOR without calling Intuit ON THE PHONE and registering my product only after giving them all sorts of information about myself AND MY BUSINESS!!!

I called and quickly told them that I was sending the software back. I think I spoke to someone in India or something.

I'll go and find accounting software that doesn't require me calling the company and giving all sorts of personal information about myself and my business.

WORST PRODUCT EVER November 19, 2008
I was forced to upgrade to 2008 or I would no longer be able to get payroll updates or email invoices. Despite paying each year for a payroll subscription on top of paying for the 2008 upgrade I did not need or want, I can not email invoices, can only print sometimes, and the payroll function malfunctioned and paid all of my employees their gross earnings without taking out any taxes. Was unable to get any support. They wanted to charge me to talk to someone even though it was their own product that was broken. I have lost thousands of dollars in unbillable time spent cleaning up their mess and now have to find another way to send my invoices. THIS COMPANY DESERVES TO GO BANKRUPT - THEY SUCK IN EVERY WAY.

Worst Quickbooks Program Yet November 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have used Quickbooks software since their 1999 version and this 2008 Pro version is, by far, the worst software version they have created and possibly the worst software nightmare out there. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!! They have errors that have been there since 2007 when the software was released that they have done nothing to fix and obviously never plan to fix in any manner. They're too focused on making the next year's version and charging you even more money for it. The past two years, 2007 and 2008, have had so many problems that it isn't even funny and all you get is a message for months saying that they are "aware of the problem and working on a solution". Then if you call support they don't even know what to do...I know more of their program than their own support personnel do. Will be looking at buying a competitor's software to replace Quickbooks on 3 companies that I do books for. Intuit has had more than there fair share of chances to improve their product and it just keeps getting worse.

Not Received November 4, 2008

It is kind of hard to review a product never received. I am now waiting on a refund claim that is pending. If it is not received shortly I will have to process a claim through the credit card company to protect my consumer rights.
