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
