It is a shame that Intuit has decided to end the Desktop versions of QB.  I have been using QBs since the first DOS version.  I cannot use the language I need to use in reviewing the online versions so lets just leave it to say when my Desktop versions no longer work, I will do things by hand on a ledger sheet before I convert to the online version.  It is worse than terrible.  That's says it all.  I am a CPA and I have been doing accounting for the last 50 years.
