i used bizzwizz in the days of dos so dunno about windows version i changed to qbooks in 95 and used it till 2002 changed to myob which i thought was a nightmare and changed back to version 7.4 of quickbooks afetr 2 financial years...i found that myob took longer for routine stuff than quickbooks and it is harder to learn than qbooks...there is only one word to describe the myob printed forms customisation procedure CRAPPY...no self respecting trader would send out the standard unmodified myob invoice or statement, it looks so shitty...this may have improved since version 11 when ditched it.......accountants love myob but if you submit your p&L on paper they dont really care....both intuit and myob will get money off you at any opportunity and i mean that is evertime you call them......AFIK myob is better on inventory especially if you prebuild items the qbooks but i think that has changed in the later versions of quickbooks...................i find most people using quickbooks like me sware by it and you do have upgrade paths with either product overall myob did its marketing in 2000 as the gst came in much better than intiut and that is the main reason why it is more widely used today...many people used the $200.00 howard gave away to buy it and because accountants love it so much they told their clients to get myob also rant rant rant...... in the end look at both products and see which one suits your business better relloman
