I don't think you'll be happy with Money Basic for business use. I don't
believe there are payroll features in either Quicken XG or Money. Although
it provides more power than you need I'd take a look at Accpac Simply
Accounting. It keeps you out of Intuit's hands and provides you with a
pretty solid package. It runs about $159 at Future Shop and your accountant
will be glad you picked it.

I am switching from Mac OS X to XP and I have to choose an
app for my small business accounting. I have been using
MYOB but I really don't need the features of a full-
fledged accounting program - just a small (2 employee)
payroll, AR/AP and basic reports. No inventory, etc.

Quicken XP seems ready to be used in this fashion, but
I've been burned by Intuit in the past and don't
necessarily want to give them more money. So I'm
considering Money 2004 Canadian Edition. Can anyone out
there reassure me about Money's ability to perform the
tasks I need? I note that in the U.S. there is a separate
edition for business use, but in Canada there isn't.

Unfortunately, Microsoft does not provide an easy way to
ask them the questions directly. I think this pre-sales
support gives an indication of the support level in
general, so I wonder about going with Money.

Thanks
