I've never questioned the quality of the QuickBooks product, only the price. So when I purchased this version I was looking for a deal. Because this version does not allow you to track time I had to upgrade to pro for an additional $180 dollars or so. Intuit made the process easy, allowed for me to download the software right then, and sent me the disks later.
QuickBooks Simple Start was not the option for me, but the product arrived in a timely fashion.
If you do need to track time, stick with Pro. If this product suits your needs then I have to say that the new interface is fabulous and the tutorial that comes with it is also infomative.
 Simple Start really IS simple; Pro is better May 12, 2008

I'm a freelance writer and only need Quickbooks (QB) to track expenses, income, and customize the invoice for the type of work I perform. I got an initial trial of QB Pro 2006 and worked on my records on that. I got Simple Start (SS) '08 and tried to import my files but SIMPLE START IS NOT RETROACTIVE. Then I had the pleasure of going to the Intuit site and found that they were offering SS for free for a limited time. (The offer is now over.) SS can be used by someone who is using it FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME (as in never touched QB before) to track expenses and income and to generate STANDARD invoices only. If you plan on customizing invoices, using credit cards and checks, and doing more advanced work, I'd encourage a buyer to choose Pro 2008. Since I wasn't satisfied with SS after opening it, I returned it to Intuit based on their 60-day money back guarantee. Within 4 weeks, I received a full refund for my purchase even though I bought the product from Amazon. I hope Intuit allows SS to be retroactive for 2009. I've since purchased Pro 2008 and while it's a great product, I paid more money for a program that has a ton of advanced features I may never use. But should business expand, Pro will more than pay for itself.
Great for freelancers May 2, 2008

I hate the thought of doing accounting, I barely understand it. My strength is on the creative side. Doing your invoices manually in a spreadsheet or wordprocessor or graphics program may seem like the easy way out, but it's actually foolish when you could use a product like QB Simple Start. Think about it, do those other methods keep track of when you billed someone and remind you if payment is late? Do they make it easy to see what you earned for tax purposes? Do they contain a database of your products and services and the corresponding prices? Do they store all your customer addresses so you can enter that info from a drop-down? And finally, do they tell you that so-and-so has owed you $600.00 for six months so you can do something about it?
Take it from a hater of accounting: you can handle this program. Amazon sells it cheap, and you can write off the cost. But for the price, you can't beat the freedom it gives you.
 Too many rules and it ties up your computer. U will never be able to sell it to anyone February 26, 2008

This Intuit software is like all intuits. You are the sole owner. YOu have to register. You have to update. You have to allow intuit to monitor your business by the internet. You have to check in often. If you miss any one of these your computer will no longer be able to use any Quickbooks again. You will not be able to sell it to anyone. You will have to buy more software or another computer just to go back and use quickbooks once again. I lost $79 and many long hours on the phone to fix my case. All calls go to Pakistan. I was not allowed to talk to anyone in resistration or licenseing. This is not an American company.
