Right. Micros~1 bought Great Plains.

And the "Look & Feel" is partly a Windows thing, bolstered by several books
by Microsoft on how to implement a GUI interface. Microsoft is the de facto

Once you have installed the program, merely use the Open company window,
navigate to your existing company file with the new program and open it. It
will read the file without any problems since they are basically the same
program. The pay version is Simple start free with a bunch of additional
features.
