   Summary: Rebate Info--Don't Be Fooled
Note that the $100 Rebate is for UPGRADES only. It is a bit deceiving when you purchase your QuickBooks, it is for those who had previous versionsof QuickBooks only.

   Summary: Run! Run!! Run for your life!!!
I used this product back when it was in its 1.0 for DOS days. Back then, it was a great application. Designed to make double-entry accounting accessible to those of us who don't really know a credit from a debit, it did everything I needed it to do, simply.

It is now mostly an advertisement for add-on products. It still comes with the basic features, although many are no longer so simple, but so many of the feature buttons just take you to a web-based, "You can buy this add-on here now!" type site.

It's no longer intuitive either. The design is such that many common features (i.e. Receive Payment) are not available on the myriad buttons all over the screen. (Those are reserved for add-on products.) You have to navigate around things to find the simple functions you need.

Finally, gone are the days when you could get some level of decent free support for the software. I'm not talking about, telephone support, or significant hand-holding. I'm talking about things like Newsgroups. Places where people can ask questions and get ideas from other people. Microsoft has that. Intuit doesn't. Instead, if you want to ask anything beyond, "how do I install this?", you have to pay for a freakin' service plan! And it's not just a one-time $100+ fee either. After that, you have to pay them a monthly too!

I'm not sure what I'm going to switch to, but this product just bites. I'm getting out. In short, my advice is stay faaaaar away from these guys.

   Summary: Vast improvement over previous versions
And it is much better than doing things by hand. I went from spending hours and hours tracking my small business finances, to just a few minutes a week. It is wonderful software. There is nothing really bad I have to say about it other than there is a small learning curve. I do my payroll and quarterly tax reports all directly from within Quickbooks. All my finances are tracked and the report generation features are very powerful. If you are starting a business, or already have one, I highly recommend this software. It simplifies things tremendously.

   Summary: Upgrading from QB2002 has cost me thousands of $
Our family owned, consumer electronics install company, has used 3 differant versions of QB since 1995. Each upgrade prior to buying QB2004 went smooth. Since our company is replacing our main computer and the QB 2002 disk is MIA after a fire at our business (saved all the records because we regularly back up onto zip drive); we decided to purchase QB2004.
After loading 2004, the problems began! Every few days a customer that bought and paid for something 3 to 4 years ago, shows up in the accounts receivable as owing money. Yet when you look at the customer' s account register it shows the customer paid the correct amount. And when we try to delete the customer's transactions so we can reenter them and possibly clear the problem; an error message pops up which says "C=75 this program will shut down - contact program maker" When we call Intuit they won't talk to us about a product defect unless we pay an additional $279.00 for a year of support! You would think after paying over $200.00 for a software program you would be entiltled to at least 90 days free support &/or warranty.
We also noticed that our attempts to deleate these stray transactions have screwed up our checking account register which took 2 people 2 days to find these deposit entries are still in the register but the progam does not add or subtract them from the total. Now I'm paying 3 people for about 5 full days to re key in about 2.5 months of business entered in QB 2004 into QB 2002. We bought a used copy off of ebay, put it in new computer, restored our back up of our files that we made in QB 2002 format (prior to converting them to 2004 format) and now have to rekey in about 500 enteries so that we can stick with QB 2002 which has served us fine!
I will be looking in to competivive accounting software to switch to begining our next physical year!

   Summary: It all depends on where you're coming from.
If you don't mind being manipulated and having Intuit suck money out of your business on a long term basis, Quickbooks is worth considering. Also, Quickbooks is a standard double entry accounting system. If you have a small business and you know little or nothing about accounting, you're probably better off hiring an external bookkeeping, payroll, and/or accounting service. It might even be less expensive, and certainly less time consuming, in the long run.
