quickbooks 2008 premier is simple enough for me to manage my small business s-corp on a daily basis yet it is packed with an extensive help system and other features (including online banking) that
i'm biased because i've been using quickbboks since old dos days and i beta tested this year's product.
as a quickbooks beta tester, i have been working with this product for a couple of months now.
i have used quick books for years and this new version is very useful in running any business.
i wish it had a more quicken like interface and direct connections to the banks.
i'm very pleasantly surprised to find it's a good, stable product, is reasonably quick to launch and use, and is more pleasing to use than windoze versions of office i use at work.
after using it for about 3 weeks, i can say that the word program does not open a file as quickly as on a windows operating system.
could this be related to the slowness of word 2004 (or the g4) and an inability to refresh the display quickly.
surprisingly quick shipping too!
audio notes are amazing and quick.
the only thing i can think of that would make this product better is integration into quicken/quickbooks.
as you take the scanner out you notice a legend on the supporting cardboard that says "lift me out to find your accessories and quickstart guide" under that you find the quickstart guide, the usb
the installation was quick and easy, and it integrated automatically into microsoft office.
this is indeed a neat idea; intended for business people on the go for those quick scans needed to complete your expense report on time.
some of the features, like scanning into spreadsheets, would frankly be quicker and easier done by hand.
once the lens has focused it becomes very quick thanks to it's f/2.8.
because of it's size, i suspect it will use up battery power very quickly if you use it with auto focus and it is forced to move alot.
focuses quickly, even on the marginally slow sd14 body.
you cannot preview the dof, but a quick shot and chipmunking the viewfinder will show you what's going on.
arrived speedy quick and was exactly what i wanted/needed.
as a beta tester for the pro version of quick books 2008, i personally witnessed the thorough job that intuit does to ensure their product preforms as we want it to in real life.
i was a beta tester for this product and it was also the first time i had used quickbooks.
it isn't the easy, quick way to keep up with my small business accounting.
i have used quickbooks in my business since it has come out, and every year they have always gone above and beyond with all the great features they add!
i was a beta tester for this product migrating from quickbooks 2007 to quickbooks 2008.
even counting the time it takes to translate wordperfect files intro microsoft word, the process is still quicker and the appearance of the word files superior to writing them directly in that
(this is particularly true when using ocr with scanned or faxed documents.) by opening the word document in wordperfect, i have been able to use "alt-f3" to identify the errant codes and quickly
recieved quick after ordering.
esp when there are entrance and exit ramps and very close together (lack of information and not so quick updates).
it picks up signals quickly even while under cover.
i haven't had much opportunity to use this new version yet, but after a quick trial run to find my address buried in the back woods, i'm thrilled.
- few routing options (quickest, shortest, and selected roads only).
some limitations to some businesses in cities, but if you have address it gets you there fairly quickly and shortest possible route or time if perferences are set in option menu.
i used quickbooks and quicken in the past and decided to try microsoft small business accounting and found it much easier to use.
i am a long time quickbooks user, and choked at their latest attempt to gouge me with additional fees, so i decided to try microsoft's product.
i found that working in microsoft office small business accounting is easy to pick up (the screens are familiar to the office user) and i could get started very quickly.
it needs a bit more polish to really kick quickbooks.
it is very useable today and is better than quickbooks for us.
it is awesome that it can scan all types of sizes at once and quickly.
the best thing of all, however, is that all the infromation it gathers can be exported into your quicken or ms money programs.
it runs through the cards as quickly as you can hand-feed them in, putting the images of them into your inbox.
it was pretty quick on all sizes to include long receipts and long paper documents.
they scan so quickly.
we were a switcher from quickbooks to sba during the beta program, because we were really struggling to capture customer intelligence and use it easily for marketing purposes.
the delivery was quick and clean.
the new hybrid system is much better for the person who never modified a tool bar out of the box and now gives quicker access (no pun intended) to items they would normally have to use a pull down
i was even able to prepare a quick report and my boss congratulated me on my effeciency, etc.
word/excel, from windows media to my next appointment, from my battery level to my notes, it is all quickly available at a touch of a button and a voice command.
the voice recognition takes no training and you learn the commands quickly because unlike oher, older programs, they make sense!
i installed and had problems which ms quickly helped me through.
this gets most everything i say right the first time, and on the odd errors it seems to learn very quickly.
i purchased this product online and received it quickly.
the product was delivered more quickly than expected.
a huge thanks to the sender for getting this product to me so quickly and in such good care.
i had to purchase a new copy of microsoft office professional (my old pc died and took all of the details of my prior version with it) and found that amazon.com offered the best price, quickest
i installed it in both computers very quickly and easily.
this is a very well thought out program, that makes it much easier to stay organized and take notes quickly.
to take quick notes.
paperport 11 is the easiest way to turn the piles of paper on my desk into organized files that you can quickly find, use and share.
paperport integrates well with the omnipage ocr programs, and scanning and text conversion seems to be better and quicker after we loaded omnipage 15 on our xp machine.
i just tried quickbooks pro 2008...and i hate it.
much better than quickbooks.
my opinion is quickbooks is a much more difficult to use, and not at all intuitive.
while struggling with this, i decided to order quickbooks pro and use them both so i could compare.
