Quickbooks 2010 Pleases; Some Features Missing for Mac
The newest versions of QuickBooks Pro and QuickBooks Premier, the world’s most popular accounting software, are set to be released Oct 7 for the PC, with QuickBooks for Mac soon to follow on Oct 19.
Last year Intuit awed the software world with an all-new QuickBooks. With a dramatic cosmetic overhaul and a quiver-full of added and improved features, the result was a warm reception of the most popular accounting application on the market.
And after the recent preview of Quickbooks 2010, it is clear Inuit didn’t let 2009’s success go to its head. This year’s new release focuses on a personalized QuickBooks, with a new GuideMe feature to walk users through the most common tasks, multi-options for widgets and apps, and improved customizable home screens, as well as a now-customizable Snapshot screen, a feature introduced last year that displays relevant business data on one page.
As for the Mac version, newly available are at-a-glance information pages and an add-on for credit-card processing, features found in prior Windows versions but that have been conspicuously missing from the Mac line. The Mac version now looks and functions more like a Mac product as well, rather than a PC product with menus and features adapted for Macintosh.
But still found only in the Windows versions are the innovative Inuit APP Center, allowing users to download useful plug-ins, as well as online bill pay and multi-user support.
To users who bought QuickBooks 2009 within the last 60 days, Intuit is offering a free upgrade to the new version.
