Intuit Announces QuickBooks 2006

Intuit on Wednesday announced that its next iteration of QuickBooks, code-named Denali, is set to launch this fall. QuickBooks 2006 is the culmination of a multi-year development effort, the company says, and represents the accounting software's most significant launch since its 1992 debut.

With QuickBooks becoming too feature-packed, Intuit has returned to the basics by simplifying views of company data and combining tasks, reducing the need to hop from screen to screen. Inventory management and accounting controls have also been beefed up to prevent errors from being overlooked.
