As we've mentioned many times, Intuit does actually pay attention to the feedback you send them (Help > Send Feedback Online) and the newest update for QuickBooks 2010 is a perfect example.  You’ve told  Intuit (and us) loud and clear that their marketing communications in QuickBooks 2010 have become a distraction to getting your work done, so they’ve made some sorely needed changes.

The  newly released R5 patch to QuickBooks 2010 has the following improvements based on your feedback:

1.       The “Recommended for You” widget in the Snapshot can now be turned off with one click. Just click on the “X” on the upper right side of the box.

2.       The “Accept payments” sidebar on the Receive Payments and Sales Receipts screens can now be closed with one click. Just click on “close toolbar” on the upper left side of the box. Alternatively, you can show or hide this sidebar through your Preference Settings.

3.       You can now use the “turn off pop-ups” preference in QuickBooks to turn off newly added pop-ups in QuickBooks.  

4.    You can now turn off the Payment Interview permanently. Just click on the “X” on the upper right corner.

And keep sending Intuit your feedback about what's bugging you and what you'd like to see in future updates.  It only takes a minute or two and you're helping make QuickBooks better for everyone.
