QuickBooks 6.0 announced
Intuit today announced , which it says "incorporates customer-driven enhancements designed to address the unique needs and work style of the Mac small business owner. [It] is the second annual release since Intuit's announcement last year of its multi-year plan for annual upgrades." As noted last week, the new version offers import/export to the Windows file format as well as email integration (for sending invoices, etc.); automatic data backups, customizable toolbars and reports, and Microsoft Excel integration. It is $300 with a $100 mail-in rebate for previous owners. It runs on Mac OS 9/X.

I hope they got it right
Right now, I'm hating Intuit. I purchased QuickBooks Pro 5 for Mac solely because I expected an improvement in the integration with Windows QB data (since almost all accountants use Windows QuickBooks). I was shocked to see my abilities to switch between different versions and platforms were even more limited if I transferred my data to version 5 (I had even answered their survey saying that better integration with Windows QB was the only feature that was missing with 4). Anyway, I've stayed on QB 4 and I haven't even installed QuckBooks Pro 5 (which cost almost $200) -- now I see upgrading to 6 is going to cost me a lot more! Basically, I feel ripped off by QB 5, and can't believe it took this long to (supposedly) be able to open a Windows version of QB.
