[AccessD] MS Accounting discontinued

MYOB is probably the package of choice for SME in Australia as well.  Quicken is used more widely for personal finance from what I understand - which is does a pretty good job at.

Big grunty places use SAP or JD Edwards or something else suitablely enterprise in scope and power.

MYOB?  It's by far the most popular small business accounting system in this part of the
world - much more widely used than Quickbooks.
