Wednesday September 30, 2009 8:02 am PDT by Eric Slivka
Intuit today announced the introduction of the Mac version of QuickBooks 2010, an update to the company's small business accounting software. Scheduled for launch on October 19th at a suggested price of $199.95, QuickBooks 2010 brings a number of enhancements to the software package.

Available in late October, QuickBooks 2010 for Mac, from Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), helps business owners:

* Save time - Gets users up and running quickly, with a faster setup process, and helps them save time on routine tasks such as e-mailing and printing.
* Make money - Gives users key insights to make smart business decisions with customizable, at-a-glance financial reports and graphs.
* Get Paid - Makes it easier to process credit card payments and track billable hours with integrated add-on services.

QuickBooks 2010, which requires Mac OS X 10.5.7 or later or 10.6, reportedly includes over forty enhancements and will be compatible with several add-on services, including Intuit Merchant Service (starting at $19.95/month), My Time (free), and Intuit QuickBooks Payroll (starting at $25.00/month).

Because it's not the Premiere version a la Windows. I need the Manufacturing features for my business. I loathe having to run Windows to spit out an invoice. Stupid. And IMHO, Parallels seems to have gotten much slower over the last year or two making it almost unusable.

Odd... it's not on the Quicken Financial Institutions site for downloads. I wonder when they're going to let banks have it before they start asking them to support it...

Oh, sorry... I read Quicken instead of Quickbooks. Still, 2009 is the latest available.

As is the case in the past, each version and each year's files are probably not compatible so I can only upgrade when my accountant upgrades so that he can accept my files electronically.

Also, I know few people who pay MSRP for this stuff. Everyone it seems waits for it to go on sale around tax season.

Had HUGE issues going from QB 2007 to 2009. Now that everything is working I will not be touching this with a 30ft pole. Until they finally add some compelling new functionality I will not be giving Intuit another dime.

Agreed.

Intuit really sucks.

I don't think anyone at the company pays much attention to the computer industry since they don't seem to understand the Mac platform has been on an epic rebound for a few years now. And yet, they still put out pathetic annual patches rather than give us parity with the PC versions.

Quicken, with its 2006 copyright date, is a joke.

Intuit is a terrible dev. Quicken for Mac has always been a disaster. No thanks.

It's sooo bizarre.. I can't understand why they hadn't always maintained the Mac version to be the same as the windows version. It doesn't make any sense to have two totally different road maps, development ideas and still call it the same stupid name and same packaging.

They should call Quicken for Mac something totally different. Otherwise you get duped into thinking they're the same software, and they're really really really not.

They should just dump the Mac version completely and begin a new version as a direct ripoff of the windows one for 2011.

Still no Credit Card Processing ?

Still no ability to build Inventory Assemblies ?

Windows Version is bad enough for me I guess.... why make it worse ?
