  Ewwwww.  I hate that program.  Have you considered moving to a
different package?

  If, for whatever reason, you feel you must remain with Quickbooks, I
recommend running Windows natively. If you feel you must remain with
Quickbooks, it means you're running Windows.  Trying to run
Windows-inside-Linux at that point is just sour grapes.  Now you have
*two* platforms to worry about per computer.  That's stupid.

  Yah.  MSDE is basically the MS SQL backend with a limited user count
(I think it's 10 users).  The next version is going to be called "MS
SQL 2005 Express".

  Intuit doesn't support Intuit products very well.
