QuickBooks for Mac (2012) compared to QuickBooks 2012 for Windows (2012)?

The QuickBooks 2012 for Mac is easier to use and has more features than prior versions, but compared to Windows QuickBooksPro (2012) it doesn’t have:
Accountant's Copy
Units of measure
Assembly items
Multiple currencies
Price levels
Batch Invoicing
Loan Manager
Reconciliation Discrepancy Report
Sales Orders
QuickBooks SDK Software Development Kit
Not having the SDK means that any applications that rely on the QuickBooks SDK, WebConnector, or App Center do not have the ability to integrate directly with the QuickBooks for Mac data and will not integrate with QuickBooks for Mac. Instead, programs and applications communicate with QuickBooks for Mac by creating files (*.iif) that import into QuickBooks. Importing via *.iif works, but it's old technology that has its own drawbacks and limitations, so it has the capacity to be both clunky and difficult, but it does work.
When will Intuit release an SDK for QuickBooks for Mac?
