5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product That Works With Windows 7, March 12, 2010

I brought this product because my old Peachtree Accounting Software is not compatible to Windows 7 64 bit. It is as good as the old product. The product itself in the accompanying CD is not compatible to Windows 7. However when you install the program with internet online, it will ask you to download files to make it compatible. Once it is done, the program works wonderfully. But it is a little slow every time when you open the program. When you are in it, everything is fine. This program has fewer options then the Peachtree Complete version. It does not has the fixed asset program if your company needs it. The payroll program is fine as long as you pay a premium to Sage company to update the tax rate information online. There are few changes from the previous version. You cannot change to another period if you did not reconcile you accounts. It does away the edit feature in the purchase/receive entry form. However you can still call up the invoices from the list button option and make change and save it. For a few month already, I did not find any conflict to Windows 7 and it is still working fine. If you do not need the fixed asset program or you have other fixed asset program on hand and your company is small. I highly recommand this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Payroll, January 7, 2010

I'm really disappointed by the payroll section. They tell you that you can enter your own tax tables but the program doesn't provide the basic formulas so much more is involved than entering the numbers from Circular E. Their cheapest solution to get the tables from Peachtree costs $250 a year which is more than the cost of the program. I'm sending the program back to Amazon for a refund.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised., April 15, 2010

By 

Feejo - See all my reviews

This review is from: Peachtree Pro Accounting 2010 (CD-ROM)

I did watch review of Quickbooks 2010 and older versions. I checked reviews of Peachtree, not good. But I got a deal, and in no time I found everything I got in my QB 2005. I was surprised. That version is solid. Got a problem at installation, I called them, the nice support from GA, USA was calm, was speaking clearly got my installation problem solved quick. That version is similar to QB that I know, it got even more stuff for inventory. You can try the premiere version free unlimited, it email invoicing for free, a must.

I am satisfied and happy to leave QB.
