I did bookkeeping faster on my 286 and QB v1! QBv6.0 on Win 98 BEST EVER! Even 2008 Pro on XP was as good! I used it for more than 7 years without one hiccup! Thank GOD I'm retired. Good luck to y'all who will work literally 24/7 to do a 50 hour week job. As for me, I'm going to sleep. The rest of y'all can keep battling "progress??"...

QBO was developed to answer the call of the millennials who think they can and have to do everything on the fly.  My last dozen or so clients have been in the worst possible place they could ever be with bookkeeping thinking QBO was their answer.  Sure, they can see what their Bank balance is, but they have no idea what their P&L or Balance sheet is or even means!! They all thought they could do away with the expense of doing what was and yes, still is, the most important part of business other than making sales!

Eh - I'm too old to be teaching old school to people who think 600 year old accounting is for the birds...  If Intuit wants to change the way businesses or people do accounting, then get society to change the way they want businesses to report on their activities first, not the other way around!

The founder and creator of QB created this wonderful tool which was called at one time "A Bookkeeper's dream and an Accountant's nightmare"  Intuit heard that and created the audit trail.  Since then, it was thought to be the best pf the best.  Now, watch out Intuit.  You're losing us...Well, again, I'm retired, so I'll just take the money of all those flailing and failing client's at this point HAHA!!
