What the hell are Intuit thinking, oh wait, apparently they are not. I have been doing my accounts on QB on my PC for a few years. I am a designer though and I use a mac for my work. Stupidly earlier in 2006 I bought the MAC version and was promptly informed or mis informed by several different people that my data would not actually move seemlessly between the two. The only solution was to go through every invoice that I had ever created and make sure that I had no line items with more than 50 characters! CRAP! I returned the software and continued with windows. Optimisticly I upgraded to MAC 2007 when it came out. My data moved easily from the PC to this new version. I am not sure how they can call it quickbooks though because it looks and behaves totally differently to the PC version. All of a sudden my accounts are in a package that I have no idea how to use. Once again I will be returning the software and going back to my PC version. I hate these Intuit guys and will take any chance I get to let people know what a crap product they have produced!

A few months after purchasing QuickBooks 2007, I just received some promotional material offering $30 off if I upgrade to version 2007. Great job, Intuit. Not only did you not know that I purchased (and registered) QuickBooks 2007, but you also made me feel (even more) stupid for upgrading when I did.

I've updated my QB for Mac every year since v. 6 and this is probably the worst upgrade to date. For $199 Intuit has given you the ability to offer customized invoices. It's embarrassing. When are they going to include the Navigation Window in the Mac version. Until they begin offering better support for Mac, I'm no longer interested in upgrading my OB. I recommend going on ebay and purchasing either 2005 or even 2006, but I would stay away from 2007.

What's even more amazing about the poor quality of Quicken and Quickbooks for the Mac is that the CEO of Intuit is on the board of Apple! How can a software CEO who publishes such second class software even consider being on the board of the company whose platform he treats like garbage?!

I've given up on Intuit products several years ago. Fortunately, I no longer need QuickBooks and I've switched to Moneydance for personal finance. Intuit's Mac support is downright terrible. When switching back to a Mac several years ago, I tried to convert my Windows Quicken data to Quicken on the Mac. The conversion was very poor and I was looking at several weeks of trying to clean up my data. Amazingly, Moneydance converted the same data almost perfectly (maybe an hour to clean up a few things).
