The good: QuickBooks 2008 offers better help for beginners; improved integration with Google Maps, Microsoft Outlook, and online business directories; new secure server for routing QuickBooks files to accountants.
The bad: Overall, the upgrades to QuickBooks 2008 are fairly minor.
The bottom line: QuickBooks Premier 2008 remains the top small-business accounting program. Its guidance for novices is top-notch, and it comes in a variety of editions tailored for specific industries. Version 2008 isn't an essential upgrade for QuickBooks 2007 users, but it's a good buy for users of earlier versions, and for anyone new to accounting software.
