We need to buy a new accounting program, and QuickBooks is it. We have a Mac that can run QuickBooks Pro 6.0 for Mac, so we can either buy that or a new Dell with QuickBooks Basic (why is there no Mac Basic version?).
I know Intuit has had spotty Mac support, so that, coupled with the fact that we need to share data between PC versions of QuickBooks, makes me want to just buy a cheap PC and keep platforms the same, and relatively trouble-free.
What I'm looking for is answers to any problems that can occur in a cross-platform QuickBooks setup and how to deal with them. Any outstanding bugs with the QuickBooks Pro Mac software? Late Mac updates compared to Windows versions? Will Intuit support the Mac long-term?
For reference, we are currently a 50% Mac and 50% PC small business. Most of the PCs are much newer than the Macs (the newest Mac is a snow iMac 700).
