The biggest problem with Quick Start is that an uninformed user might
actually associate it with "a the real version of QuickBooks".

Well, that's better than associating Quick Start with a '52 Nash.
Marginally.

So, "Simple Start" is to Quickbooks as "Bob" is to Windows operating
systems...

If you mean my cat, "Bob" (he appeared at the office one day as a kitten
with a ghastly tail; damaged, necrotic, awful, and the tail had to be
removed - that's how he got his name), then, yes.

No, I mean "Microsoft Bob", as described by Wikipedia:
"Microsoft continued to make strategic decisions directed at consumers.
The company released Microsoft Bob, a graphical user interface designed
for novice computer users, in March 1995. Discontinued in 1996 due to
poor sales, Bill Gates later attributed its failure to hardware
requirements that were too high for typical computers; Microsoft Bob is
widely regarded as Microsoft's most unsuccessful product."
It's funny how even though Intuit was never acquired by Microsoft,
somehow it still *feels* like it was...
