I didn't find enough new features to justify the cost. And it takes WAY longer to open the program. I do like the Outlook integration feature for sending invoices. Several things I thought it was going to do, like let me import Excel timesheets, it doesn't do. Everything seems to be an "extra" now. I am always needing to buy forms, or features or extra's to get the most benefit from the product.

Amazon does have the best price.

I have been a QB user for seven years. This is my second upgrade. It was a great product seven years ago and is even better now. There are lots of additional features that make it easier to use. QB does what it says it will and does it well. It is definitely the standard for this type of product. Added benefit is that every CPA know the product. I highly recommend this product and highly recommend you get it from Amazon for the best price.

I moved from handwritten books to quick books, and am extremely impressed. Easy to use, the help option is very detailed and gives step by step direction. The only complaint would be help from customer service via telephone, they did not directly answer my questions and seemed more concerned about my Credit Card number then my issue.

Quickbooks just keeps getting better and better. I use it my Excavation business and it integrates well with my Estimating programs and is extremely easy to use. I use it from a laptop mounted in my truck using [...] to my office computer. I can print or e-mail any document right from the field and the astonishment by many of my customers that I can give them any document from my software right in the field blows them away. I know I have been awarded many jobs just from the professional instant estimates I can print for them right in the field. I have used Quickbooks for years and the new integration with Outlook is a great new feature.

I run a small plumbing company and this has reduced by work load in the office. pros: good video tutorials, invoices are easy to customize, easy to use, good layout. Cons: when you enter an incorrect amount for a customer it is a nightmare to rectify, Overall it is an good product and easy to use.

Great software for a small business. Has everything needed to keep track of jobs that is incredible.

I have never been so disappointed as I am with Amazon right now.
The software that I ordered showed up almost destroyed, but I got the disk to work.

All seemed well until I tried to register the product, and then I found out that it was still registered to the previous owner, rendering my installation and the work that I had done on QB null.

This adventure has cost me time, the cost of the dubious software, and immeasurable damage to the accounting of my company.

Very, very disappointed. The seller has not responded to my inquiry. Will be seeking action through American Express over this if it is not resolved by the end of business day today (Monday 4-26-10).

Pretty much a solid product. I have had no issues, and really like not having to manually reconcile my accounts; but I believe that is not new to this release.

Works well.

Very little difference from 2006. Oh, it is slower. Upgraded because of Vista. Funny 2006 works on my vista laptop if you install in xp compatibility mode. No such luck on the real work desktop. Only buy if you have to or there is some killer thing in 2008 that I've missed so far.

The only complaint's I have is that I had a bit of a problem converting my quicken data into quickbooks. I was back and forth with quicken and quickbooks customer service because one doesn't know or help with the other.
The other thing would be the possiblity of being able to recieve (record)payments right at the time your typing up the invoice rather then going to a seperate window.
I wish they would combine the best of quicken and quickbooks!
Quickbooks is defintely better for my business.
