There will never be a fix. They want to force users to upgrade every year. The only relief would be if there was some litigation around this. There are other pieces of software that have the clunking IE built inside of it as well. Intuit feels like they can tell you they promised a timeframe that a 2-year-old product works. Effectively unsupported. I would not be surprised for them to try and eliminate other data feeds that work or change the format of QBO files.
