Some customers are using Parallels to run QuickBooks in a virtualised Windows environment under Mac OS X, he adds.


But despite growing interest in SaaS accounting systems such as NetSuite and saasu.com (formerly NetAccounts), there's still no indication from Reckon that QuickBooks will be available in the cloud.

In related news, Reckon today released the $A19.95 QuickBooks 2008/09 Student Edition. Aimed at secondary, TAFE and tertiary students, it combines most of the features of the Accountant Edition. Exceptions include BAS lodgement, multi-currency accounting, multi-user capability, and some services such as credit card processing and electronic bill payments. It also has a limit of 650 transactions.
