Yes! This is a huge, huge problem. I just installed Quickbooks 2009 -- 2010 is fraught with problems (see amazon reviews) so my accountant recommended 09. 2009 REQUIRES me to pick up my phone to register the software -- I dialed, was on hold, and then hung up. It also couldn't open an existing quickbooks 2009 file because it needed to download a 300MB maintenance release... Quickbooks 2009 is like Microsoft Streets 98. Someone needs to make it completely obsolete by writing Google Maps.
