3.0 out of 5 stars Great features as always be prepared to spend extra $$$
Quickbooks since version 1 has been very friendly and easy to use. each upgrade seem to take up more room and more computing power. Thank to the low cost of computer now days. that shoul not be a problem if you are on a hardware upgrade schedule.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great features as always be prepared to spend extra $$$, August 11, 2006
This review is from: QuickBooks Premier 2006 - 5 User (CD-ROM)
Quickbooks since version 1 has been very friendly and easy to use. each upgrade seem to take up more room and more computing power. Thank to the low cost of computer now days. that shoul not be a problem if you are on a hardware upgrade schedule.

The latest upgrade of Quickbooks has manage to squeeze in more robust features that a real accounting software had traditionally. However, this is at an expense of additional hardware requirement.

The 2006 version has more "real" database like features. It will require a dedicated window server or a dedicated PC to be the server. The new version uses a "relational database" like SQL. This means there is an extra key component(Database manager) which requires the extra resources.

In short be expect to spend some extra money on a dedlicated PC/server to host your software..... bottom line extra $$ and space to put up with the server. Thank god that you can pick up an extra stripped down desktop PC for less than $500, less than the cost of the software. I.T people may not like this but it is the cheapest way to get it done.

I have failed to install 2006 without installing it on a new server. I will have to wait for I.T. department's time, energy, and money to be able to install QB on a real server. Estimated cost of hardware and operating system is about an extra $3000. Ouch!

4.0 out of 5 stars Quickbooks 2006, March 25, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: QuickBooks Premier 2006 - 5 User (CD-ROM)
The software is very user friendly but confusing when it comes to memorizing an invoice for the next billing cycle. Creates and duplicate invoice and changes the date to 3-4 months ahead. Other than that I am very pleased with Quickbooks.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for PCs but not so great for Macs, February 21, 2006

This review is from: QuickBooks Premier 2006 - 5 User (CD-ROM)
My entire office is run on iMacs and our time tracking was done on paper time sheets. The book keeper would have to enter these manually into QBooks because there is no QBooks timer for Mac!

I had to reverese engineer the QBooks timer to automate the time tracking for costing.

Besides this major lack in transparency between OS's, QBooks is the best it's ever been.
