I've been using various versions of QuickBooks for many years now to manage the finances for our business. We do not push the envelope of whiz-bang features available in QuickBooks, so this upgrade doesn't seem to have really been targeted to our needs. Registration with each generation of Intuit products gets to be more and more of a hassle every time. Besides the normal entry of a license number and product code you also have to answer a bunch of marketing questions about your business and call an 800 number for yet more sales pitches in order to get a Validation Code.
Usability wise I'm glad that the 2010 version isn't a radical change from the 2008 version we were using before. Of course since it is a new version, there are all kinds of pop-up windows trying to sell you more services and more products.
Don't get me wrong, QuickBooks is still the industry standard software for taking care of small business finances. But, if like us you simply use it to manage your bills, manage your bank accounts and create traditional financial reports ... don't bother upgrading; at least not if you are already on the 2008 version.
Get more detail about QuickBooks Pro 2010.
