having now left MYOB i can tell you that the whole BBO project was a disaster from the start with a real lack of commitment, a marketing manager monkey who didnt understand the industry and a complete lack of respect for the competition. Rod Drurys post about MYOB going under is probably a bit extreme but if the big ship isnt sinking its seriously taking on water

btw the initial rollout of BBO only worked on IE – thats the sort of development arrogance that will get you panned by the critics

Personally I hope they fail, becasue they have been ripping off the Accounting industry for years and have never provided a decent system that works not to mention the fact that if you have an issue or require some decent support -it’s never there.

They are too slow on the development and patch release fo products too.

Just purchashed Xero -RIP MYOB, it’s good to finally see some decent competition too.
