Get QuickBooks for Free

Starting a new business? Now's your chance to get your accounting in order without spending a penny on accounting software. Intuit is offering QuickBooks Simple Start 2008 for Windows absolutely gratis. Though obviously not as full-featured as, say, QuickBooks Pro, Simple Start lets you manage invoices, receipts, refunds, deposits, and more. You can use it to write and print checks, create reports, track customer and vendor contacts, and simplify your tax preparation. In short, it's a starter accounting package, one that should prove useful to anyone launching or running a small business. You can download Simple Start 2008 from Intuit's site or order it on a CD (shipping charges apply). [via Webware]
