QuickBooks is improved, but I’m not ecstatic
QuickBooks once had the corner on the Mac Business Accounting Market. It was as easy to use as Quicken and pretty much a no-brainer as the choice for your Mac business accounting needs.
Then Intuit dropped support for QuickBooks on the Mac, under the presumption that the demise of the Mac was imminent, only to return again a couple of years later when the Mac didn’t die. That “new,” re-released QuickBooks wasn’t much different than the version Intuit dropped in 1997, didn’t add much in the way of functionality or features, and cost a whole lot of money. Frankly, every version since has continued this same trend: minor updates, no file or feature parity with the Windows version, and no multi-users capabilities.
QuickBooks 2007 now offers better form customization features, but if you need a full-featured Mac accounting application you can count on the Intuit status-quo. You’ll need to look to MYOB FirstEdge or MYOB AccountEdge if you want full functionality in a Mac accounting application.
