Mandatory updates that are discovered by users and prevents them from doing their job until the update happens is overly prescriptive and heavy handed. So users cannot use QB to run their business until they contact their IT partner and schedule time for them to update all installations in the middle of a work day? Not a good way to do business, Intuit. The cost to your users include lost revenue during the outage, angry customers who can't check out because the business can't open QB, and potentially IT billable hours for this last minute, emergency update request. Also, there's a risk that the update will break something, as it has with my clients in the past. This is the first time in my years of IT consulting that a software vendor is FORCING a mandatory update with a current version product. Microsoft doesn't even force mandatory updates for Windows. Thanks, Intuit.
