Disclaimer - I am not an accountant, I do not transfer files to and from an accountant, and I am a long-time mac user after being a long-time PC user. I also no longer need QB payroll.
I am notoriously skeptical of Quickbooks in general, starting my QB journey with the Windows 03 version. 5 nightmarish years ensued, with countless hours wasted on the phone with tech support from another country. (If I would go into detail about how much I hate QB tech support, we'd be here all day - I'll spare you.) QB was a means to an end, and I questioned EVERY DAY why I stayed with the program. The files were unstable and even back-up files didn't work, and I lost HOURS of work because the program was unable to recover anything.
After FINALLY transferring everything from my work PC to my home Mac as my business moved home, I got the QB Mac version 07 and was confused, to say the least. It was completely different, no payroll (though I didn't need it) and was impossible to get into.
Then the 09 version came around - I love the home page (much like the old QB PC home page) and it was much more intuitive than before. I have had only 2 crashes, and lost nothing in either. Actually, I feel the way that QB-MAC backs up information and creates its files is more stable and direct than the PC version. After a hard drive crash, back up files booted right up and all of my info was intact.
I love this version, and it is very easy for me to use - I can't speak to how it appears to a non-mac or non-QB person, but I would recommend it to most people.Get more detail about QuickBooks 2009 For Mac [OLD VERSION].
