Review by Amazon Customer

Intuit knew there was something wrong with 2009 that is why they virutal gave it away. Now if you are 2007 or older user you have no choice but upgrade to 2010. I cannot speak on the windows 7 issue people are having with 2010 I am still running Vista and it does work on it. I do not use much beyond the general accounting, so for my use it works without isues. I do not use with the payroll, so I cannot comment on that. The biggest issue is with this every year upgrade crap.. How about a Service Pack that adds the additional features.

Intuit needs to do a better job at publishing the life cycle of Quickbooks so the user when can expect their product to be out of support, while they have a webpage. That has a discontinuation plan it lacks information on when 2008 and 2009 will be out of support […] Supporting a product for 3 years is crazy. I realize most of us would not upgrade without a real reason but the lifecycle should be longer than 3 years for a pricier product.

This is from Intuit’s websitenWhy Services EndnWe’re committed to developing easy, straightforward products that help you today and grow with you into tomorrow - but it’s a balancing act. To help ensure the best products and services for all our customers, we support our services on our latest product (QuickBooks 2010) and the two previous versions (QuickBooks 2008 and QuickBooks 2009).

Still one of the packages out there so I would still recommend, you just need to know what you are getting yourself into with the support and upgrades
