Paul,

I fully agree with your take on the predatory ways of Intuit. I’m there because it’s what my accountant wants me to do. If I keep them happy then maybe just maybe they’ll keep me happy too. When you wait 3 years to upgrade the creature of habit thing takes hold and nothing new or different is ever likely to feel right or good. You’ll get used to it.

Hi, Roy:

    I was forced to update Quickbooks from 2006 version to 2009.  I do not like it.  The screen that comes up when you want to download transactions from the bank is terrible.  It's confusing.  It seems that for every transaction that downloads, you have to manually find the category whereas the last version did it well.  I'm just incensed that even if you like the version you have, every 3 years you have to buy the  program all over again.  And, usually there's something that I don't like about the new one.  I wrote them a complaint, but they don't care.  They intentionally remove the ability of the program to interact with the bank, so you have to get the new one.  I know, there are other programs out there.  I thought about using M$ Money, but when I downloaded the trial program I couldn't get it to work.  I finally gave in.  

    Suppose you have a keyboard.  Every three years you have to "upgrade" the software, or IT WON'T WORK.  They claim that it's necessary to pay for the development of future software and technology.  How would you feel?  

    This company is predatory,  They're always trying to squeeze more money out of the customers.  

    End of rant.

That sounds pretty typical from my experience with him.  On the other hand, I've been using Quickbooks.  They want to sell me a new version every year, at close to full price.  Right now they are offering the 2009 version at 20% off.  They update and support it better, but they want paid too...

Is anyone using Quickbooks 2009, and what does it do that 2007 doesn't?

His response is likely to be “What’s it worth to you” as it was to me when I asked some time ago. Good luck!
