Hi List
Has anyone tried this yet? Reading through the chaff as
best as I can, it appears to replace Quickbooks, but I
can't tell if I am just switching arrogant suppliers or
if this is a step up, so to speak.
Any experience?
None. Many people seem to be switching from QB to GnuCash. Have you
tried it?

Guess I'll chime in here.
I have used both quickbooks, GNUCash and tried MyBooks.
My opinion is GNUCash is quite excellent for personal checking and
tracking investments and such but for running a business and invoicing
it still has room to grow (invoicing). Quickbooks is ok and it's format
is accepted by most accountants. A plus. I do however do not like
Intuits business practices. Once when I got a new hard drive and moved
all my programs over when I went to install Quickbooks I could not
locate my lic key. A call to intuit ended in them trying to extort an
$80.00 plus fee for support when all I needed was my lic key. (ended up
finding it in the registry free of course.) I tried MyBooks and while it
is quite robust it left me with a little desired. It can import
quickbooks stuff but as far as starting from scratch it seemed a little
clunky. I think if they (MyBooks) had a way to import categories and tax
info as well as export in qif format for an accountant it would be well
rounded and server me well.
My MyBooks opinion my not be quite accurate but they do offer a fully
functional trial period and I suggest you try it and see what you think.
