I have been a user of QB for Mac since the beginning. I have been a QB advisor as well.   I totally agree that Intuit is doing everything possible to move away from this format.  I have also used QB Online and I can tell you with certainty that no one who works at Intuit, an e OnLine, actually uses it.!  I have to check my blood pressure every time I launch the Online.  It is clunky at best, and years behind ANY desktop version.  It is not ‘INTUIT’-ive at all.  Maybe if they hired some actual users to participate in the development of the Online, it could catch up to the desktop version in 6 or 10 years.  

As for the comment on having to wait 2 months:  Spot on!  You spend every day programming and creating the newest versions, yet you are 2 months behind in making sure it’s compatible??   Those two thoughts are not compatible in and of themselves!  You should be ashamed - especially since all you have done is raise the price exponentially.  If you did care about making client oriented decisions, someone will answer my post with a no B.S. response.
