Is quickbooks compatible with vista?

"Technically". Intuit says it is, but they are forced to provide 3rd party software for things like the PDF creation "printer". As well, you will have to find the qbw.exe executable and set it for Windows XP compatibility mode and also force it to run as administrator.

In my experience, it works very poorly. I've basically decided to give up on it and go to a different vendor or at least upgrade to the newest version.

What are the disadvantages of accounting software?

Loss of Data or Service

  • When a business is reliant on accounting software, any loss of service due to a power or computer outage could cause a work disruption. Work disruptions can prevent the input of new information as well as prevent access to stored information. Additionally, if information is not properly backed up, a computer outage could result in lost financial data.
Incorrect Information
  • The information in an accounting system is only as valid as the information put into the system. Since most accounting systems require some manual input of data, financial results could be incorrect unless all input data is reviewed. If there is a tendency to only review the final reports or output of an accounting system, it may be difficult to find faulty information.
System Configuration
  • Every business has unique aspects that may cause difficulties when it tries to tailor a generic accounting software package to its needs. While customization is available for many programs, it may cause downtime and potential inaccuracies if not done correctly. Also, as a business grows, there may be a need to change accounting software packages; this could cause a large disruption, as information must be migrated and new training is needed for personnel.
Cost
  • A disadvantage of accounting software is the cost involved. Beyond the initial outlay to purchase the software there is the cost of maintenance, customization, training and computer hardware. While time savings may justify the cost, for some businesses it may take years before an accounting software investment pays for itself.
Fraud
  • Information stored electronically can be manipulated and accessed if proper controls and security measures are not in place. Strict controls are needed to make sure only authorized personnel use the accounting software and have access to reports. Since financial data can be sensitive and confidential, using accounting software creates the potential for fraud

How is the use of electronic spreadsheet more beneficial than the old manual paper based system?

  1. If the spreadsheet program is any good, the calculations based on the entries in the spreadsheet will always be correct. In manual spreadsheets, the calculation is only as accurate as the person performing the calculation and as accurate as that person is in transcribing the results of their calculation.
  2. Electronic spreadsheets do not occupy much space - just the space for the electronic storage media - thus you just need a decent hard drive to contain tens of thousands of spreadsheets instead of a room full of filing cabinets.
  3. Sending a copy of an electronic spreadsheet to someone else just requires an internet connection and can be done almost instantly compared to mailing or faxing a copy of a manual worksheet
  4. It is fairly simple to link the contents of one (or more) spreadsheet to another to perform additional calculations compared to digging out all the manual worksheets that might be needed and transcribing the information repeatedly for each separate piece of information.

What is the differences between Microsoft Project 2007 Standard and Microsoft Project 2007 Professional?

Here's Microsoft's explanation:

Office Project Standard 2007 is the latest version of the desktop project management program. As a stand-alone product, Office Project Standard 2007 helps project managers, business managers, and planners to manage and plan projects independently with familiar, easy-to-use tools. Office Project Standard 2007 is not designed to exchange data with Office Project Server 2007.

Office Project Professional 2007 is the desktop client that is also used to connect with Office Project Server 2007 as part of the Office EPM Solution. Office Project Professional 2007 offers all the tools found in Office Project Standard 2007, and when used with Office Project Server 2007, it also provides powerful EPM capabilities such as collaboration, management of shared resources, portfolio management, and reporting across projects and programs run by different project managers.

So what does that mean? Standard and Professional are the same unless you are going to use Project Server. Professional is required for Project Server and will cost nearly double. Otherwise, save your organization money and get Standard (retail $599/$349 upgrade vs. $999/599 upgrade).

Of course, please bear in mind that you may have future needs for Project Server so if that's the case, Project Professional should also be considered for your organization's growth, even if you don't need it today.
