As it turns out, we ended the test program this morning. We’ll let you know if anything changes.
Do you know that Intuit is converting files for FREE for QuickBooks for Mac 2012 users? That's right: FREE.
But keep this in mind (quoted directly from Intuit's Switch to Mac page):
"The vast majority of transaction information converts successfully. However, some data does not convert. This includes:

* Custom templates created in QuickBooks for Windows are not visible in QuickBooks for Mac. However they still exist and continue to be visible if the file is returned to QuickBooks for Windows.
* Transactions reconciled in QuickBooks for Windows will appear unreconciled in QuickBooks for Mac. Although they will appear unreconciled in QuickBooks for Mac, the actual transactions are preserved.
* Memorized reports do not convert because QuickBooks for Mac does not offer all of the same columns and customization options as QuickBooks for Windows.
* Also, any data associated with features which aren't available in QuickBooks for Mac (such as sales orders and inventory assemblies) will not be converted."
