I successfully switched a client to the web version of Quick Books. I'm
still weird about having my company books on Intuits servers but it
worked for the client and they were able to switch to linux because of
it. (Quickbooks' web version supports mozilla). I think more and more
apps are going to do this, switch to web applications and when they do
it will be easier to get them to linux.
