QuickBooks for Linux

[Bill Sconce]

Intuit has been famous for a rigid attitude of "if Linux is in the
picture we don't support it".  There are shops which figured they'd
never be able to be rid of their last Microsoft server because of
this one constraint.

    Intuit's QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions Embraces Linux
    
    SAN DIEGO, Calif. - June 13, 2007 - Answering the call for an open
    source option from Information Technology professionals, Intuit Inc.
    (Nasdaq: INTU) announced today that businesses will soon be able to
    operate QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions® from Linux servers. It is
    the first time the company has made one of its products available to
    users of open source systems.

    The offering will enable the tens of thousands of growing companies
    that are passionate about using open source environments to take
    advantage of Intuit's award-winning mid-market system while 
    maintaining the increased security, manageability and lower total
    cost of ownership of Linux.
    
       [Nice! Evidently vendors are now taking it as established that
       Linux delivers increased security, manageability and lower TCO,
       and they know that their customers think so too.  FUD has failed.]
    
    The decision to extend the offering beyond Windows, made at the
    QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions User Conference, is part of
    Intuit's effort to continue to meet the needs of more complex
    businesses...
