[Leaplist] small business accounting app?

[Hank Lambert]

I feel your pain with Intuit. They just extorted an upgrade out of one
of my clients. I spent all day this last Saturday upgrading an
enterprise edition of QuickBooks to version 9. Today my boss had to go
undo everything we did and downgrade them back to version 7 because no
one could open QuickBooks. According to Intuit, this is a known problem.
Of course, a full refund is out of the question, and they hope to have a
solution sometime soon.

Needless to say, I hope that someone has a real solution, because Intuit
is slowly becoming another Symantec.
