So what other solutions exist for the SMB markets for accounting software? I know GnuCash exists, but from what I recall it was one, very dated looking, and didn't support multiple users at a time, meaning it was targeted for sole proprietorship's mostly.
Wave, Xero, Sage, lots of stuff.

Exactly - this is my question. QB might be shit - but there's nothing that comes close to the functionality at that price point.
Not our experience. It does have a few semi-unique features. But not stuff that applies to most companies. For most, it's big legal stuff requiring special versions of QB that are unique.

Living the dream in the world of Windows Server Slowness.
Living in the dream in the world of Azure where everything is like Windows 95... Make a change, and reboot your VM, which takes somewhere beteween 5 and 15 minutes.
And the cost... Just... I can't even... [EDIT: Lots of Policticking involved above my pay grade].
Why you running VMs in Azure?
I imagine somebody higher up the totem pole heard the buzzwords "Cloud", "Azure", and "Microsoft" from the same person and they said, "Oh, we NEEEEEED this."
My boss is not happy about it at all, but they put some money towards it, so we have to use it at least for a couple more months. My boss is definitely interested in cloud-hosted stuff, but not with Microsoft, lol.
As to Why? It's hosting some stuff that integrates with our public web site (which will also likely wind up 'in the cloud' if things keep going the way they are now).
It wasn't a lot of Money, but my boss is tracking all our time for managing it and learning it to show the real cost of it. And the numbers ain't pretty at all... We spent 15 minutes waiting for a Server 2019 system to be restarted yesterday... I can't wait until the first Azure outage hits, lol.
I was thinking a lot of times, people spin up a VPS when they can actually go serverless. It's cheaper and more reliable, potentially.
Yeah. We have enough stuff here, that we could justify a full rack colo with our own gear and still come out light years ahead of the cost of what Azure would be.
We could probably use a VPS for quite a few things. We'll likely have some stuff in AWS for testing before the year is out as well.

That's not what I meant by serverless.

no word on if my Boss is even planning on going on call again any time soon.
He was out due to surgery, but has been fully recovered for the last 4 months.. hasn't gotten back into the rotation yet. -
Just finishing off some webhosting stuff and then going to head down the the pub and sit in the beer garden.. Hope you all have a nice weekend.

Unless directly connected to a computer and not shared in any way, printers are about the worst things ever. Even in that circumstance they're suspect.

Very true.
We had one that used to be a network printer, but now apparently is a USB printer.
No one told me this so I've been trying to figure out the IP for the printer (from what I've know it to be 1 of 2.) only to find out, It wasn't plugged into the PC.
