Page 1 of 4 Below is an excerpt from an email I recently received: "I am desirous of using Ubuntu as a replacement for Microsoft XP. I use Quicken as a financial system because my bank uses it. As a consequence,and because Quicken may not be used on Linus systems, I necessarily retain XP solely for that use. Do you know of a program which can replace Quicken, or do you expect Quicken to be adapted to Linux? I don't want to use WINE, for I want to completely leave the Microsoft influence." Those who want more convincing about the desire of users to get away from Windows completely may want to consider what a number of small business users are saying on Intuit's own forum here . There is obviously a lot of angst among the small business user community because they want to keep their costs down, their licenses simple and their machines running. On the following page, we look at how one particular small business feels about not being given the option to run Quickbooks on Linux. |
