"is three times less expensive than mass produced solar panels"...
Hmmm. If it was "one time less expensive", it'd be free, so if it was *THREE* times less expensive, does that mean he got paid twice the normal cost?
I think that probably means to read "one third the cost".
Why can't Johnny do math?
Well, no, not exactly.
I haven't filled in their silly forum, because after watching them for a couple of years (and pledging support, and entering votes...), it's apparent that no one at CW really pays any attention.
I did email Jeremy White directly about the issues, and his response was basically "that's too bad".
QB has been listed as "Bronze" since I first looked at there applications forum. Bronze means "it installs and sort of runs". That's not good enough for me for accounting software, so it's useless to me.
I'm not trolling -- I actually paid the $39 a couple of years back when it looked like they were making progress. QB runs, but not well -- lots of little graphic glitches and refresh issues that make me nervous when I'm entering financial data...
I'll qualify my statement: most accountants who cater to small businesses. Obviously those other packages are more widely used by big firms, but for the small mom & pop businesses, QB is likely the most common.
These people continue to piss me off. They keep coming out with releases that support more and more games, and completely ignore the small business market that's clamoring to run QuickBooks. (Yeah, I know, SQLLedger, etc. are available, but QB is the accounting software used by most accountants, and that's who I need to exchange my data with...)
I had high hopes for CodeWeavers 3 years ago, but now I think they're doomed to fail due to bad direction from their management.

Eight or nine: Inane and not funny at all.

So, I have tried. Can I bitch now?
I have pledged, and the last time I looked at their community page, QB was in the top 15 or so applications, and has been for a few years.
