Same here, I have been using QuickBooks Pro since 1997. I have survived recent changes by making sure the QB computer is not connected to the net when I start, and only connect when I print to the network printer.
My firewall blockings of traffic to QB seems to keep me safe from the Intuit Intrusion for now....
I am living in Sweden and all accounting programs here are required by law to have a standard interchange import/export function.
Trapping you into one service is not only mean, it is unethical.
