Yep.  One of things preventing me from dumping my MS OS is Quickbooks.  
I sort of solved that by running it under VMware.  For a little extra 
money, I could dump QB totally by hiring my accountant to do my books 
for me, but I'm "cheap", especially when my accounting needs are so 
small. :-)  OTOH, that may become a reality as Intuit has ticked me off 
for the last time with all their shenanigans in Quickbooks 2004.  I plan 
to never buy another version of QB as long as I live.  My tax account 
would be happy if I switched to Peachtree; alas, they have no Linux 
version either (so VMware would have to stay on my system for that).
