QuickBooks Online, get with it!
In the ongoing effort for a "virtual" and "hard-drive-less" web development business office, I've been using QuickBooks Online, as I mentioned in an early post. It's working well for me, and so a client and I looked into setting it up for her "virtual office".
We were 95% sold on using it from the start, and so were very disappointed to find out that they don't support it for any Macintosh browsers! My client is a Mac-only person these days, and though we're aware of the workarounds for installing Windows programs on a Mac, they're much too involved to undertake for only this reason.
So we need to go back to the drawing board and look for different software. What a huge mistake on the part of the makers of QuickBooks Online. From what I know of what it takes to build a web site which works well in all browsers, it wouldn't require much for them to make QuickBooks Online ready for Mac Safari or Firefox.
Have they not yet heard that the whole point of the Web is that it's platform-independent?
