When Quickbooks Pro 2008 came out, I decided to give it a try. I'm really glad I did! It loaded & imported all my data (going back to 1/1999!) with no problems. The program looks a little different, but is basically the same. If you've worked with earlier versions of Quickbooks Pro, you'll have no problems getting used to the new layout. Ordering from Amazon was fast & easy. Item arrived very quickly. Would recommend buying Quickbooks Pro 2008 from Amazon for the best price & fastest service! 6 of 6 customers found the following review helpful: Less than expected, More of the same, 2008-03-02 I have always been a fan of QuickBooks and find the software to be a necessity for anyone with a business. However, my upgrade to Quickbooks 2008 Pro was very disappointing. QBP 2008 is VERY slow to load and even slower to save a file. Plus the added benefits of QBP 2008 are not worth the price or the hassle of the upgrade. Here's a tip for you, save your money and don't upgrade unless they force you to abandon a perfectly good version of Quickbooks due to lack of support anymore. 1 of 3 customers found the following review helpful: Quick Books 2008, 2008-02-29 I had been using Quick Books Pro 2005. The changes between the 2005 and 2008 versions are significant. I found it difficult to do things the "new" way compared to the tried and true "2005" way. However, I feel comfortable that I will make the transition in short order. Quick Books has been my primary accounting software since 1997. I think it is very good for small and mid-size companies. I have not discovered any glitches in the 2008 version, and hope I don't find any in the future. I have never had the need to contact their customer support, so I can not comment. I find their fees are expensive, such as their tax tables for those who prepare their own payroll checks. 5 of 6 customers found the following review helpful: Intuit refused to assist when an Amazon reseller sold me an unauthorized copy of QB Pro 2008, 2008-02-28 QuickBooks Pro 2008 I ordered QB Pro 2008 through Amazon via one of their resellers. The copy I recieved would not validate after installation, so I called Intuit tech support (India, very hard to understand the rep) and was transfered to another rep because my installation could not be verified. The second rep said there was no way he could issue me a validation key because the copy I had was a copy authorized for resale only by BestBuy, not the reseller who had sold it to me, and only BestBuy could authenticate the copy, and that should have happened in store when purchased! After several minutes of asking how can a legitimate transaction on Amazon be denied and what was Intuit going to do help me, I was essentially told "there's nothing Intuit can do - you must return the copy to the seller." Were they at all interested in the details of the transaction? Did Intuit care about how this could happen with a prestige reseller like Amazon? Could someone at Intuit help resolve this issue? - all answers were NO!- it was my problem, not theirs! Worst example of "No Customer Service" I have ever experienced in 25 years of buying software!! My accountant has highly recommended Peachtree Accounting Pro 2008 as an alternative. 3 of 4 customers found the following review helpful: Cumbersome Product, 2008-02-26 QuickBooks is supposed to be the business version of Quicken. However, after using Quicken for a while I'm disappointed how cumbersome QuickBooks actually is. Reporting is better than in Quicken but data entry and consolidation has a lot of background rules and processes and they are not always very clear. I'll keep looking for alternatives...
