 QuickBooks Pro 2010 August 17, 2010

I recently upgraded from QuickBooks Pro 2006. Easy upgrade for me - 3 companies with smallish databases so it was fast. In 2 hours I had completed the process. I had to wait for the 2010 version since I use multi-currency. This version cleans up all the irregularities of 2006 I was having to live with. A clean product and worthwhile upgrade for anyone with multi-currency.

I have been using Quickbooks for 15 Years and this is the best version yet. It is easy to use, Multicurrency is back, it looks better than ever, in fact I have no complaints.
I am a bookkeeper with several clients, over the years I have recommended Quickbooks to most of my clients as it is much more user friendly, especially for people less familiar with accounting packages. Recently I have needed to build customised reports, which I have found very easy. I need the multicurrency feature for a couple of my clients and I have always found Quickbooks multicurrency flexible and clear.
I found upgrading from QB2006 to 2010 a very quick process, taking about 15 minutes, although I was disappointed that it did not copy the invoice templates across. The look of the interface is clear and the supplier/customer/employee centres make getting a snapshot easier.
I always recommend Quickbooks to my clients and having tried, and had to use, most of the other packages over the years, I now feel Quickbooks is the only software which makes this work, which at times can be tedious almost fun.
 The worse Quickbooks ever July 9, 2010

I bought 2010 Pro having been trapped with 2006 Pro for four years because someone forgot to out multi-currency in 2008.
I thought that after 4 years they might have got it right, but no. It cost me at least 3 full working days to get my VAT to agree with 2006. Luckily I had the sense to keep a 2006 copy running in parallel. It meant entering every transaction twice (in 2006 and 2010) but it was worth it. I tried on line support but all they told me, after a few hours, was that it would be easy to fix, but at that point they must have got bored because they never answered me again and never actually told me how to fix the problem.
After that I spent hours on the phone support and eventually they came up with an apparent fix. I say apparent because I am concerned that they have set a ticking time bomb that will eventually hit me some time.
As well as this, 2010 loses all filed VAT returns; it dumps all of your history (in my case 7 years) and you start from scratch again.
Also you cannot file VAT if you are due a repayment from HMRC, only if you are due to make a payment. That is pathetic, obviously no one bothered to check the software before it was released.
There are no Sales Orders, which are part of my ISO2001 flow so I now have to rewrite my quality manual and procedures. What idiot though to take out such a minor feature. But don't worry, they said, you can get Sales Orders back by upgrading to Premier and it will only cost you another £250.
All of your templates get dumped. I have spent a couple of working days rebuilding all of these.
Now I am getting bored, there are so many problems so in summary I think this release is an absolute disgrace and if anyone is thinking of buying it DON'T.QuickBooks Pro (PC)
Still the best small business accounting software on the market June 23, 2010

As an accountant i use a number of different book keeping packages, and in the case of Quickbooks have been using it since version 5. As far as the 2010 version goes, adding back in multicurrency was a welcome change, and overall performance wise it's a bit quicker than the 2008 version as well. VAT has been changed somewhat again, with the main difference being that you can now file online through the program, although beyond that there arent that many changes.
As far as various versions and windows 7 goes, you can actually run anything from V.2005 onwards on windows 7 (either 32 bit or 64 bit) - although 2005 and 2006 do need to be patched before you start using it, although once this has been done i've found anything 05 and onwards very stable.
For someone looking at their first piece of book keeping software, it is still by far the most user friendly, simple, and flexible software out there, and while you could keep your figures on an excel spreadsheet, the main benefit with quickbooks is the flexible reporting, which allows a business owner to see exactly how he is doing at any given time. The other benefit, is that figures tend to be much better controlled through a proper book keeping package, which should save you in accounting fees as well (and given average chargeout rates, it might save you the cost in the first year).
The only proviso i would say however is that for new users not familiar with book keeping software, some help might be needed in getting started, as it can be a little daunting for someone looking at this for the first time.
Poorly Programmed too Unstable for Trusting with your Company Accounts June 18, 2010

I am using Windows 7 64bit which came installed from Dell on a brand new Dell Precision 1500 with 8GB of RAM. I have 25 programs that run perfectly on my new Dell. However Quickbooks 2010 is far from perfect. The only reason for buying/upgrading from 2008 to 2010 is to run our new Machine and make use of the superfast Windows 7 64bit
Quickbooks 2010 installs OK but on trying to open the software it go into an endless Windows installer routine but never opens the program
3 conversations to a Call centre lasting 5 hours produced no results. So A manager came to the phone and asked to be allowed to install remote control software..but even this did not work. Does not inspire confidence
There has got to be someone on the software team that has tried and tested this on Windows 7 64bit but the people I spoke to in the call centre were not able to offer any cure
The Call centre sent me a downloadable file which was able to install if you then downloaded the latest .Net framework from microsoft,but if you leave your Windows updates turned on "You have 13 updates do not turn off your computer", the installation is ruined by the update and Quickbooks 2010 goes back to the endless cycle of the windows installer routine.
The Quickbooks disk from Amazon uses the Window Installer, whereas the download from the Call centre uses Installshield which appears to work better.
We have in the UK the choice of Sage or Quickbooks. Quickbooks 2010 running on Windows 2010 64bit is being let down by software programming glitches that for a company of this size is just not good enough. As for the helpfulness and knowledge of the call centre staff.....they well meaning people, but they are just not up to it
For a major piece of software with 4 million users having this standard of representation must be pretty embarrassing
I need help from people who KNOW rather than have a list of things they can "try" while running my phone bill up.
So for this one program we have had to abandon using Windows 7 64bit and go back to the slower Windows XP
At our account year end we would like to abandon Quickbooks 2008 altogether and go for an Online Accounting Solution.
I have given this one star because I cannot give zero
