Quickbooks, like many other software houses, leaves annoying things unfixed and seems to concentrate on the sizzle.

This version does work, and it converted my 2004 QBs well.

Almost all of my sales are online and to new people most of the time. This new QBs has you put in a default name for the shipping address, only an annoyance to me. I can see why some might like this. I’d rather see QBs volunteer the name of the account and the new, added name so I could just get on with it.

I keep my account names last name comma first name style. I would imagine that everyone would if you have a lot of account names. It annoys me to have to manually edit the display name when there could be an option to do that for me automatically. This is an example of something that seems to go on forever and never change.

I do find a little more flexibility in filtering reports than what I am used to.

All the nit picking aside, QBs remains the best and most cost effective accounting program for me. Accountants may like Peachtree and loathe QBs, but for a regular person who have several online businesses that I keep track of inventory and sales, QBs is the most convenient and cost effective way to do my books.

Would I like it if QBs would listen to me and to others like me and get the program even better? Yes, of course. Still the best option for me.
