        receivables. Premier also includes advanced tools for tracking 
        inventory, creating purchase orders and setting prices levels.

        easier. With QuickBooks Premier, business owners have the tools and 
        insights they need to grow their business.
* Simplifying Day-to-Day Tasks
   - New: QuickBooks Coach and Tips. New users can get up and running 
     quickly with the new QuickBooks Coach and Tips tool. The QuickBooks 
     Coach provides access points for two tasks all new users want to 
     accomplish: Continue Learning or Start Using (with guidance). The 
     Start Using access point allows new users to interact with the 
     QuickBooks homepage with guidance, where they can learn more about 
     workflows. Users can mouse over various workflow starting points to 
     see information about what these represent and how to use the 
     workflows. Users can also click on a specific workflow starting point 
     which will illuminate the entire workflow and provide tutorials on how 
     QuickBooks works, and how to map QuickBooks to their existing business 
     workflows.
   - Next Gen Help. The Help window sits side-by-side with the QuickBooks 
     user interface, so users can now move back and forth seamlessly, 
     without the Help window blocking the user's view. The new Relevant 
     Topics list lets users bypass Search and gives them a list of most-
     likely questions to choose from, based on where the user is in the 
     product. Help also provides more easily scannable topics, and 
     suggested spellings and best-guess results when users misspell words 
     in their query. If the user needs further assistance, the help section 
     provides a direct link to QuickBooks' online support and QuickBooks 
     Community site.
   - Form customization. QuickBooks 2008 makes it easy to customize forms, 
     such as invoices, with new auto-preview functionality. The most 
     commonly used customization options are easy to access with real-time 
     preview for instant results.
   - Sales tax management. QuickBooks 2008 provides one access point for 
     business owners to manage sales tax information. This latest upgrade 
     consolidates preferences, reports and sales tax payment options all in 
     one place.
   - Search. Users can more easily find customer, vendor or financial 
     information and quickly get a complete contextual list of matching 
     files with Google Desktop. For added security, users can only search 
     QuickBooks data from within QuickBooks. The search tool is also tied 
     to QuickBooks user permissions so search results are limited by 
     authorization levels.
   - Save time. QuickBooks reduces redundant and repetitive tasks by auto-
     classifying account information for frequently entered business 
     expenses. Bill entry goes faster because users won't have to go back 
     and look up the right expense account for each vendor every time. 
     QuickBooks will learn an account when used three times in a row for 
     the same vendor.
* All the Essentials to Complete Tasks Efficiently
   - Comprehensive financial management made simple. QuickBooks Pro and 
     Premier help business owners complete routine accounting tasks quickly 
     and easily. In QuickBooks, a check looks like a check, not a Web form. 
     Invoices can be created directly from sales orders or estimates. As 
     any transaction is made -- from invoices to bills to expenses --
     QuickBooks tracks all the data, making it readily available to see and 
     use at any time. Users can also quickly run reports so they can be 
     ready for tax time.
   - Home page. The home page provides users with a clickable, graphical 
     overview of their key tasks and shows how they are related -- all on 
     one page. It's so easy to navigate that users are never more than two 
     clicks away from their most important activities. From the home page, 
     users can also see key account balances, further customize QuickBooks, 
     change preferences and add products and services that work with 
     QuickBooks.
   - QuickBooks Centers. The Customer, Vendor and Employee Centers provide 
     users with the ability to view and manage all their customer, vendor 
     and employee information and transactions from one simple screen. All 
     the tasks and data that belong together are grouped together, making 
     it easier for users to find and act on certain information.
   - Payroll Center. With a subscription to Intuit Small Business Payroll 
     (additional fees apply), users can manage payroll and payroll taxes 
     right from at-a-glance screens. There s no double entry and nothing 
     new to learn. The Payroll Center guides users through the payroll 
     process -- review, confirm and submit -- giving full confirmation that 
     payroll is correct and ready to go. There is no time wasted double 
     checking. Intuit Small Business Payroll also provides automatic 
     calculations and the latest tax tables and forms, helping improve 
     payroll accuracy. New scheduled pay groups allow business owners to 
     create groups of employees according to pay frequency and schedule for 
     easy batch processing.
   - Give simultaneous access to multiple users as a business grows. Users 
     can work in QuickBooks simultaneously across a Local Area Network 
     (LAN). Separate access permissions and passwords are easily 
     configured. Three-User Editions for QuickBooks Pro 2008 and QuickBooks 
     Premier 2008 are available to allow three users to work on QuickBooks 
     at the same time. QuickBooks Pro and Premier Three-User Editions are 
     expandable up to five users, with purchase of additional copies of 
     QuickBooks and a LAN.
   - Create and customize a business plan. Using existing QuickBooks data, 
     business owners can easily create a business plan with three-year 
     projected financial statements. It's possible to export these 
     statements to PDF format for effortless distribution or to Microsoft 
     Excel (sold separately) for further analysis. A plan review feature 
     helps to ensure that a user s plan is complete and accurate. This 
     feature is available in Premier only.
* Solutions Beyond Accounting to Help Businesses Succeed
   - New: Google Maps and Directions. Users can now easily view a map for 
     each address displayed in their Customer, Vendor and Employee Centers 
     -- right from within QuickBooks, as well as get step-by-step 
     directions from the company default address to the contact's address.
   - New: WebListings. Business owners can enter business information once 
     and WebListings will submit it to major online business directories 
     like Google Maps and Yahoo! Local. Attract customers searching online 
     for businesses like yours.
   - Google AdWords. QuickBooks users can use AdWords to advertise their 
     business online. They can select search terms related to their product 
     or service and create customized ads that appear when shoppers search 
     on Google for those products or services. Users have control over 
     their budgets, allowing them to stop or pause their campaign, monitor 
     their spending or change their advertising messages at any time.
* "Right for Me" Capabilities for Product-based Businesses and Accountants
   - Improved: Accountant's Copy. QuickBooks 2008 now automates the task of 
     users creating and saving an Accountant's Copy on their computer and 
     sending it later to their accountant; in one click, customers can have 
     their Accountant's Copy automatically created, encrypted and uploaded 
     to a server. The accountant receives an e-mail notification and can 
     download the file from the server to their computer. The accountant 
     can review and revise historical company accounting records while the 
     customer continues to perform day-to-day bookkeeping tasks. And the 
     report that displays the accountant's changes is now easier to read. A 
     new "quick-zoom" function lets users view the original transaction and 
     see items that were added or modified from a list of changes. 
     Importing and merging the accountant s changes into the customer's 
     company file has been tremendously improved. Now if a merge conflict 
     occurs, the customer has clear, easy-to-understand instructions to 
     quickly resolve the conflict.
   - New and Improved: Online Timesheets. QuickBooks Time Tracker online 
     service is the fastest and easiest way to track and invoice billable 
     time. New Time Tracker for Microsoft Outlook makes it easy 
     for employees and contractors to automatically transfer time from 
     their Outlook calendar to Time Tracker. Employers can now review and 
     edit timesheets online. When they're ready to go, all it takes is one 
     click to download everything directly into QuickBooks for faster, more 
     accurate billing. QuickBooks Time Tracker is sold separately but 
     includes a 60-day free trial period.
   - New: Invoice for Time & Expenses. Invoice for Time and Expenses allows 
     users streamline time and expense tracking for easy client billing. 
     Users are presented with all unbilled time and expenses in one screen 
     and can create invoices with just one click. This feature is available 
     in Premier editions of QuickBooks.
   - Item management. The Unit of Measure feature in QuickBooks 2008 
     enables users to automatically convert units of an item into different 
     quantities, such as packages to pairs, as well as prices and costs. 
     This makes it easier to meet customer and vendor needs and reduce 
     errors from manual calculations. This feature is only available in 
     QuickBooks: Premier Manufacturing & Wholesale Edition, Premier Retail 
     Edition and Premier Accountant Edition.
   - Shipping Manager. Users have the ability to ship multi-parcel and 
     high-value shipments with FedEx and UPS, handle third-party billing 
     and print labels directly from QuickBooks, using popular thermal 
     printers available at leading office supply retailers.
   - Automatic tracking of activities in QuickBooks. Accountants and small 
     business owners can have peace of mind knowing that changes to 
     important QuickBooks data will always be tracked. The always-on audit 
     trail lets users easily track any changes or errors that they, their 
     employees or their accountant may have made. Users and their 
     accountants will also save time when trying to understand the work 
     done by other users in the company. And because QuickBooks is built on 
     an industry-standard SQL database, the always-on audit trail does not 
     affect speed or performance.
* Integrates Easily With Other Software to Eliminate Data Re-Entry
   - New: Outlook integration. QuickBooks 2008 now integrates with 
     Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, allowing users to maintain 
     their existing e-mailing workflows. Customers can access sent e-mails 
     in their Sent folder, and will be able to add any attachments to e-
     mails before sending, all without having to exit their current 
     workflow in order to send e-mail. Customers will benefit from improved 
     performance and speed, and will be able to send e-mails over their 
     existing ISP. 
   - QuickBooks add-on applications. For more specialized or industry-
     specific tasks, QuickBooks has an extensive community of developers 
     who have built more than 450 applications that work with QuickBooks. 
     Seamlessly sharing data with these applications provides the power, 
     ease and comprehensive functionality of QuickBooks, plus the unique 
     benefits of the add-on applications, without ever having to enter data 
     twice. QuickBooks add-ons are sold separately and available at 
     http://marketplace.intuit.com.
