I purchased Quickbooks 2009 almost exactly one year ago. I asked if there was an upgrade price to Quickbooks 2010 and the answer was NO! You have to pay the full price of $200. So in effect I pay Intuit $200 a year to keep up to date and run Quickbooks. Most software developers give previous customers a break on upgrades. Not Intuit!! Well I intend on using the old version for as long as it works. Then I am switching to another more sensitive accounting software company.
