[AccessD] MS Accounting discontinued

PeachTree was a fairly serious accounting program at one time (when I
last looked at it), which meant it wasn't designed for someone who
didn't understand accounting.  I don't know where it's gone, but
programs like QuickBooks are intended to  work for non-accountants, so
the accountants are stuck with it.

yes ...but the last time I looked at them they had more problems than QB
Pro and few accountants recommend them to clients ...which ime is the
real driver behind how most small business accounting software is
marketed.
