Review by Nathan M. Rose

If you own your own business, QuickBooks is a necessary evil. Luckily through the years, as the need for electronic bookkeeping has grown, so has the software. After two years of unstable releases, QuickBooks 2010 put the software back on track by giving you all of the stability you loved in the last few versions along with a plethora of new features to keep you up-to-date in this electronic age. The only issue I had was when I went to install the software on a virtual machine on a Mac. In both Parallels 4.0 and vmfusion 3.0, QuickBooks had an issue reading the company file off of the virtual network drive. The only current solution is to create a local copy in your virtual copy of windows. Hopefully, QuickBooks can work out this kink sooner rather than later. However, aside from this shortcoming, this is the best release of QuickBooks in years!
