I have been using MAC for everything forever and I just bought and installed quickbooks for PC 2010. The Mac Version just does not work the same and it is the only thing I do on the PC. If you are using a new IMAC you can add parallels and XP to the imac install the PC version of 2010 and have that program run in a pc window on your mac desk top. XP runs really well on a MAC. Other than that there is nothing I can't do.
