I just read an unconfirmed rumor that Staples.com will have QuickBooks Pro 2009 on sale for $69.99 on Tuesday, September 8, 2009. I think this will be a one-day sale only. The big question is if this purchase qualifies you for a free upgrade to QuickBooks Pro 2010 which is scheduled to come out within a month or so.

Intuit has been very tight-lipped about QuickBooks 2010 so far. I have heard of no new features or improvements and they have not yet announced a release date. Usually by this time in the year several new features have leaked out and have been discussed on the various message boards, but I’ve seen nothing this year. I’m hoping that this doesn’t mean that there are no new features worth talking about!

If the Staples sale price is true, I will post a link to it tomorrow.
