RE: So now that you have seen it for yourself, how can we get it fixed?

 

Well, everybody is going to see it after they patch QuickBooks to R14. I'm sure Intuit will eventually pull their collective head out of the sand and notice the resulting chorus of complaints.

 

They will also, no doubt, internally come up with an excuse re: why they don't effectively test QuickBooks before releasing updates and then pat themselves on the back...


Oh, that part is easy to understand.  See, people like me use QuickBooks for bookkeeping, but Intuit uses QuickBooks only to make money, so as long as people like me keep paying the ransom, there's not much incentive for them to make it any better. 

 

Intuit once had one of a small handful of the original "killer apps" in Quicken for DOS, but somewhere along the way, they lost the art of fire.  The goal shifted from making the best possible software, to making the most possible money, no matter matter how bad than might be for the customers who elevated intuit into the position of the de-facto standard in bookkeeping software.
