Lets face it guys. Intuit is not a customer friendly company. Their
marketing is geared to getting users to update the core program every
single year. The last time I upgraded I had special coupons and rebates
that allowed me to get the program at a very low cost. I stopped paying
them for the tax table updates-another huge ripoff. I use paycyle for
the the payroll and it does a much better job allowing beasy reporting,
direct deposits and electronic paying of taxes etc.
I go way back with computers. Intuit in the 1980s and later wa sthe
most customer friendly company with great free tech support etc. They
called microsoft a monopoly and then when quickbooks an quicken became
big, everything changed. Quickbooks 2006 should be able to run in
Vista, download transactions etc. The only reason is Intuit doesnt
care.
