[OT] Small business/SOHO accounting

[Benjamin Scott]

  This isn't really Linux-related, but I think there are a number of
people on this list likely to have good answers.  So:

  Anyone care to give recommendations in the small business/SOHO
accounting product space?  QuickBooks is very common, but also rather
expensive, and in the past I've had horrible experiences with Intuit
customer service, and we all know that "most common" does not mean
"best".  For this user, traditional software and web services are both
acceptable.  They've got just one computer, running MS Windows Vista,
so it has to work on that.  If it works with Linux too, great
(seriously), but it has to work for 'doze, too.

  I Googled "quickbooks alternatives" and found a bunch of hits, but
this is one of those areas where practical experience is invaluable,
so I thought I'd see if anyone here has anything they'd want to share.
 Recommendations on what to avoid would also be useful.
